Medication, meditation, yoga, CBD, eliminating caffeine, avoiding naps, no technology at night, warm milk, you name it, I'd tried it. Nothing worked.
I was so desperate that, one night, I resorted to writing a haiku, wondering if...

Redécouvrir l'harmonie du monde à partir d'un sourire
Ce livre est né un matin d'avril. Si le sourire y est bien présent, pas toujours éclatant mais en tout cas perceptible derrière chacune de ses pages, il n'en constitue pas pour autant et à proprement parler un éloge.
