The Sleep Mask Wasn’t Blocking Light. It Was Blocking the Day.
A field note on visual shutdown, room availability, and why covering your eyes can make the world finally stop asking for attention.
All notes
Every note starts with a real sleep moment.
Some come from my own broken nights. Some come from Reddit threads where a person has already described half the mechanism, but does not yet have a name for it.

What counts as a note
A field note is not a complete guide. It is one pattern, one real scene, and one mechanism named carefully enough that someone else might recognize it.
Behind the scenes, I keep mechanism labels so related moments can connect over time. The public note stays plain: one real scene, one pattern, one careful boundary.
