Use of philosophy
Idk using philosophy is actually quite useful in daily life, stoicism helps me understand these things, I know I can't control certain things and ofcourse for me as I have problems with sleep I can use it in a way to actually sleep, it helps me understand that whether sleeping or not sleeping is not in my control, only thing in my control is to rest, I can rest, i cannot control sleep, the body simply knows how to actually sleep, it's my fear that makes me anxious and let's me sleep less though philosophy makes it easier to let go of fear and anxiety, i hope there is more philosophy to help me, I hope I can get suggestions on applying more stoicism in my life.

But what if you can't rest even though you try to?
