House & Garden explores reframing insomnia as a 'superpower,' with reading the Booker Prize shortlist bringing solace and productivity [https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/article/fiona-mckenzie-johnston-insomnia-ideas].

The author, Fiona McKenzie Johnston, discovered that insomnia provided quiet hours for reading and reflection. She found solace in the pages of the Booker Prize shortlist, transforming sleeplessness into a period of productivity and calm. McKenzie Johnston wasn't alone in this experience; many others have found ways to reframe their insomnia. Instead of viewing it as a debilitating condition, they see it as an opportunity for creativity or personal growth. Reading offered an escape from the anxieties of the day, allowing for a deeper engagement with literature. This reframing can shift the focus from the negative aspects of insomnia to the potential benefits it can unlock.
