The protagonist of this graphic novel faces the same question every night: is sleeping the same as dying, even just a little? After three sleepless nights and on the verge of a heart attack, he decides to consult a psychologist. Agnes, a mature, kind, and combative woman, will try to guide him through a process where nocturnal anguish becomes the mirror of a deeper fear. A work that sensitively explores insomnia, existential anxiety, and the difficult path of opening up to therapy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows a young man trapped in a paradox: he fears falling asleep because he believes he could die without realizing it, but insomnia drives him to the brink of collapse. Convinced that his heart is about to fail, he turns to a psychologist named Agnes. Through their sessions, the reader witnesses the slow and difficult process of verbalizing an irrational fear. The work not only portrays the struggle against insomnia but also delves into the existential anguish of someone who confuses sleep with death. The therapeutic relationship becomes the narrative axis, showing how the patient's vulnerability and resistance clash with the therapist's patience and insight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFear of death and existential anguish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChronic insomnia and its physical and psychological consequences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe therapeutic process and the difficulty of opening up emotionally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between sleep and the perception of one's own mortality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe loneliness of the insomniac facing the night.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor readers of graphic novels interested in introspective stories with a strong psychological component.
