My partner can fall asleep at any time of day. I'm jealous. I'd spend a lot more time unconscious if I had the option.

There's a great poem about this.

Footprints in the Sand

A man walked through his life with his Lord by his side. When he died, he looked back and saw that during the saddest and most troublesome parts of his life, he would only see 1 set of footprints, instead of 2. He asked the Lord "why did you leave me when i needed you most?" to which the Lord responded "it was then, that i carried you".

I think this expresses how besides our emotional side, there is also a much more enduring side inside us that takes over our consciousness when we need it most, so we only see the parts of life that we enjoy.

How is that poem even vaguely related to this?
