You're dealing with insomnia - as your boyfriend

You're dealing with insomnia - as your boyfriend

It was pitch black outside, and the only things keeping me company were the weak illumination from my phone screen and the calm hum of the ceiling fan. My body had been unfaithful to me, waking me up for the third time with discomfort. I heard a soft moving next to me as I was browsing Instagram, attempting to take my mind off the nagging anxiety that seemed to come alive in the dark.

"Y/N?" Even though Jungkook's voice was heavy with sleep, I could hear worry in it. "What are you doing up?"

I hurriedly switched off the screen of my phone, thinking he wouldn't see it. I muttered, "Just couldn't sleep" as I turned my back on him to demonstrate a tired expression.

Leaning on one elbow, he squinted his eyes due to the low light. "You've been up tonight for the third time. What is happening?"

Realizing I had to tell him, I let out a sigh. "Jungkook, it's nothing. Just a few nights without sleep. I'm alright."

He was not convinced, though. Jungkook never let things go, especially when it came to me. He reached over to turn me around so that I was facing him. "Y/N, please speak with me. You've had trouble sleeping for weeks. What is the issue?"

His sincere concern in his eyes caused my optimism to fail. I tried to handle things on my own because I didn't want to bother him with my issues, but I was at my lowest point. "I... I don't know" I said, just above a whisper. "I simply can't get any rest. It's impossible for me to stop my mind from racing"

With a softening look, Jungkook drew me into his arms and embraced me tightly. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I was afraid of worrying you" I said, pressing my face against his chest. "I thought it would pass, but it's just getting worse"

His hand moved in calming circles over my back as he kissed the top of my head. "Y/N, you don't have to face this alone. I'm always here to support you. Let me help"

My eyes filled with tears as I felt a wave of tiredness and relief pass through me. "Jungkook, I have no idea what to do. Though I really want to sleep, I just can't"

His presence was a comforting base in the turbulence of my thoughts as he held me closer. "All right, let's work things out together. Let's get you off your phone first thing. The blue light isn't really helping" 

I gently gave my phone to him, and he set it down on the nightstand. With a gentle "Come on" he led me to lie back down. "Try to relax and close your eyes. I'm right here"

I followed his instructions, but my mind kept racing, spinning ideas in an uncontrollably disorganized dance that seemed to go on forever. A few minutes later, Jungkook's voice was audible above the noise.

"How about we try some deep breathing?" he asked. "I read somewhere that it can help calm your mind"

I nodded, ready to give anything a shot now. As he guided me through long, deep breaths, Jungkook's words had a calming effect that gradually began to block out my rushing thoughts. Breathe in, hold it, then release it. His steady, peaceful rhythm repeatedly became my compass.

"Assume you're in a calm location" he whispered. "Somewhere that comforts and gives you a sense of security. Is it possible for you to visualize it?"

I nodded once again, seeing in my head a calm beach at sunset with soft waves splashing against the sand. As Jungkook's voice led me on, it created a clear picture of peace that began to influence into my racing thoughts.

My body started to relax gradually, and I could feel myself getting closer to sleep. I was about to fall asleep when Jungkook said in a whisper, "Y/N, I love you. We'll get through it together"

The last thing I heard before falling asleep was those words, which were so comforting and loving.

I felt more refreshed when I woke up the following morning than I had in weeks. Jungkook had already gotten up and was using his laptop while seated at the kitchen table. When I stepped in, he looked up and grinned.

"Good morning, sleepyhead" he whispered. "How did you sleep?"

"It's better" I said, taking a seat next to him. "Jungkook, thank you. That was incredibly helpful to me"

With commitment in his eyes, he grasped my hand in his. "Y/N, we will solve this problem. I've been doing some research on how to treat insomnia. We can try several things to find what works best for you"

My heart was filled with love and thanks for this amazing man who was prepared to go above and beyond to assist me. "I don't know what I'd do without you"

He gave my hand a squeeze. "I'm not leaving, so you won't ever have to find out. Let's be together in this, shall we?"

I nodded, my optimism having returned. I knew I could handle anything, even the restless nights, with Jungkook by my side. We would work together to find a solution that would calm my racing thoughts and give me the balance that I desperately needed.
