程度の副詞

Sometimes, we are just thirsty or too hot but most often, our insomnia is psychological.

喉が渇いていたり、暑すぎたりすることもあるが、多くの場合、不眠症は精神的なものである。

法助動詞 B1

It is the mind's revenge for all the efforts that we have, largely unbeknownst to us, been making not to have certain thoughts in the day. We are being woken up by a need to think about something that we have carefully been ignoring, probably thanks to our work or our social and family commitments. Having attempted to get our attention by more normal means in the clamour and busyness of the day, our deep minds are now trying to get us to have an appointment with certain insights and ideas in the quieter hours of the night. Our 3am awakenings are signs that we have repeatedly not been doing the sort of self-reflection we need to do in order to be at peace. We are not being lazy, we are not shunning our responsibilities out of willfulness. We are simply escaping, for very understandable reasons, from what are liable to be a range of difficult thoughts, perhaps about work, a relationship or our childhoods. If we are to regain sleep, we should begin to visit, with greater tenderness and imagination than we allow ourselves in the day, some of the bolted and locked rooms of our minds. In a spirit of gentle curiosity, we might dare to raise certain sorts of enquiry.

それは、一日の中で特定の考えを持たないようにするために、自分でも気づかないうちに行ってきた努力に対する心の復讐なのだ。私たちは、おそらく仕事や社会的・家族的な約束のおかげで、注意深く無視してきた何かを考える必要性によって起こされるのだ。日中の喧騒や忙しさの中で、より普通の手段で私たちの注意を引こうとしていた深層心理が、今度は夜の静かな時間に特定の洞察や考えと約束させようとしているのだ。午前3時の目覚めは、平穏であるために必要な自己反省を繰り返し行っていないというサインなのだ。私たちは怠けているわけでも、故

What am I truly, truly sad about at the moment? Who has hurt me? What needs to change? What is the real grief beneath the surface anxiety? What is my gut telling me I need to know now and to do next? These can be uncomfortable questions, no doubt, but we can use the night to help us to face them. Everyone else is asleep. It matters a little less now that we think in conventional ways. We can be a bit odd, fanciful, imaginative and kind. We can go a little mad between 3 and 4am and no one needs to know. We can write things down in a notebook and destroy the pages in the morning. What counts is that we give ourselves the chance to understand our shy and pained deep psyches a little better. They have been crying out for our attention and we have till now run away from our duty of care. Our mind's ultimate responsibility is always to our growth and self-understanding. They want us to sleep, of course. They understand as well as any expert that rest is important. But they have as a priority something even more important than energetic limbs and that is psychological insight. They need us to have felt what needs to be felt, to have been angry where we are in a rage, to be sad where we are grief-stricken. They are irrepressibly driven to try to align our surfaces with our depths. They are trying to send us, as it were, to the school of night not to be unkind but so that we can catch up on some very key lessons about who we really are that we have, until now, been too distracted or squeamish to attend. We will sleep better once we begin to ask ourselves these questions on a regular basis.

今、自分が本当に心から悲しんでいることは何だろう？誰が私を傷つけたのか？何を変える必要があるのか？表面的な不安の下にある本当の悲しみは何なのか？今知るべきこと、次にすべきことは何か。これらは不快な質問であることは間違いないが、私たちは夜を利用してこれらに向き合うことができる。他のみんなは眠っている。私たちが型にはまった考え方をしていることは、今では少しどうでもよくなっている。私たちは少し変わっていて、空想的で、想像力豊かで、親切であることができる。午前3時から4時の間に少しおかしくなっても、誰にも知られる
