Those nights. Sleepless nights. 5 o'clock shadow, bags under your eyes, unshowered, unshaven, unkempt. Scrolling endlessly with the world in your hands. Legs numb, arms numb, mind numb. You don't know sleep like you used to. But it's a new day. Nothing but brain rot from the night before. Dare you repeat what happened. I mean you gotta see how perfect everyone is doing, right? Turns out its been five days already. Did you know it takes 72 hours awake to hallucinate? In Danny Boyle's 127 Hours, inspired by the true story of Aron Ralston. I'm saving you the trouble of watching it (spoilers) the hiker gets his arm trapped between rocks in a cavern for 5 days. Solution? 5 minutes of self inflected amputation to escape. Is that what it takes? Trapped between screen and sleep. The longer you stay awake the more your mind is amputated from physical reality. But you can't help it, like a car crash you gotta stay up to see that video of that guy getting his arm chopped off. Like drugs you gotta know the top 10 amputations of the century. But you're 127 hours in. Awake. Detached from reality.
