It hurts to be awake, and to be honest, I have almost forgotten how to sleep. Is it better to do it while sitting up or lying down? Being curled up, outstretched or spread out as much as possible? I can't tell anymore.

The caffeine didn't work its miracle a second time. I can feel my pulse lowering despite downing a whole mug of coffee again, growing more numb for every second that passes by. 

Shutting down. 

Rebooting.

And suddenly 6 hours later it is noon, and 6000 steps after the last attempt.

One more try.
