Shot 1:

Xiao Zhang lay on the bed anxiously. He could no longer remember how many sheep he had counted, nor how many times he had turned over. The ticking sound of the clock on the wall made him irritated, and his chaotic thoughts made him not want to close his eyes. He tossed and turned all night long, unable to sleep.

Shot 2:

Xiao Li was still typing away at the computer, occasionally looking up to think, then lowering her head to continue. All the noise and silence around her seemed unimportant, and the clock on the wall could no longer remind her to rest, and she stayed awake all night again.

Voiceover: They are both "insomnia", why is there such a big difference between the two?

It is true that insomnia can lead to an increase in negative emotions such as depression, anxiety, and irritability. However, sometimes people exaggerate and blame all physical discomfort and poor performance on insomnia, and become depressed and complain, thus forming a vicious cycle. There is no essential difference between actively choosing to stay up late for various reasons and passive insomnia. The key lies in our cognition and attitude towards the two, which leads to different emotional reactions. If we can regard insomnia as the result of our own choice, our attitude will inevitably change. We should be grateful, accept and face all the good and bad in life. Therefore, we should look at insomnia positively, and even more positively at everything in our lives.
