Comment on A Wide Awake Nothing

  1. Ohhhhh, no. I’m a restless sleeper (thanks, ADHD), and I fare the worst trying to sleep in locations that aren’t my own bed in my own bedroom with complete silence. At the end of July this year I went on a vacation with my sister and her friend to a lakeside B&B running on ZERO hours of sleep the previous night, and it was absolute hell.

    I managed to amp myself up so much that I started experiencing panic symptoms, chief among them a rapid heartbeat and a tumultuous gut (anxiety will do that to you...). It was the first major panic attack I’ve ever had, and despite how tired I had grown I was actually afraid to fall asleep because I felt like I was having a heart attack. I had two more nights afterwards where I barely slept. Worst nights of my life.

    I already headcanon Han as an insomniac due to being in survival mode for most of his youth as a streetbound orphan, and later his unpredictable lifestyle would feed into that. He said it himself, he’s been from one end of the Galaxy to another. Visiting different planets with varying day lengths and spending long periods in the timeless void of space has definitely screwed with his circadian rhythm some. He and Chewie could potentially be experiencing extreme jet lag on the regular.

    This was yet another gripping chapter, and I’m still eager to see where it goes!
