An Idle Mind
Have you noticed that during the day, your mind is too preoccupied that you can’t even remember that you’re breathing and puffing air? You’re so absorbed in your work that you don’t pay attention to the happenings inside your body unless they are extremely intense! This is one of the reasons you may not pay your symptoms much attention in the day. At night, you’re faced with an inevitable choice of staring at a blank ceiling (most probably) if you’re not too busy. It’s hard to catch your forty winks at night when you have a headache pounding behind your head, and your nostrils crying out in their clogged state. What’s more, your mind keeps awake, and since there’s no official papers to sign or a deadline to beat, it finds employment in noticing the happenings inside you. You’d probably be pissed off, your cold seems to be getting out of hand and you begin to panic. But it’s perfectly okay to feel this way at night, especially when you’ve got a common cold. [2]
