Bent on Somnolence
Bent On Somnolence tells a deep, fictional story of how a lonely man, tortured by his insomnia, breaks free from his hamster wheel job, his money traps, and changes his life. He slaps down his drug addictions, kicks his conditioning in its ass and takes a leap of faith. He then discovers some life changing science about medicine which can help repair the brain and restore the youthful mindset that he remembers having before it had been bleached out by years of depression and grinding at unfulfilling jobs.
