"Minuit secoue la mémoire comme un fou secoue"
— T. S. Eliot

Simplified Meaning:
When it's late at night, our minds can become uneasy, and we start thinking about all sorts of things, much like a crazy person who can't seem to calm down. Imagine you're trying to sleep, but thoughts about problems, worries, or past events keep swirling in your head, making it hard to rest. This happens to many people; night time often brings out our deepest fears and anxieties because there are no distractions. It's like how, in history, soldiers might have struggled with memories of battles only when things got quiet at night. To handle this, we could try to practice relaxation techniques before bed, like deep breathing or reading a good book, to help our minds settle down and let go of those thoughts so we can sleep more peacefully.
