Distant by Dawn. When sleepless nights reshape connection and closeness

You snap at the people you love-and you don't know why. The smaller things cut deeper. Patience runs out faster. And the tiredness has crept past your body into everything else. When sleep disappears night after night, relationships quietly shift. Closeness feels harder to reach. The people you love start to feel like another demand on an already exhausted self. And the loneliness of being awake while others rest becomes its own kind of distance. This book doesn't promise closeness.
It's about noticing what sleeplessness is doing to the way you connect-and giving yourself permission to feel that loss without judgment. Understanding how exhaustion reshapes presence is a quiet first step toward being here again.
