I can relate to this really well and I appreciate the questions you've listed. I'm also someone who thinks a lot at night (that's the quietest moment and there's no distraction so I'm not surprised!) and used to let conflict affect my sleep, albeit unwillingly. But I've since been able to separate myself from it. I especially like the part where you pointed readers towards, why does the conflict affect me so? Too many times we focus on the person who made us angry without wondering why we're angry.

Yes, we are only humans after all. I heard this from somewhere else. When we get angry, we start to tell ourselves a story in our head. Instead of just responding, ask ourselves this question: What else might be true?

Indeed, anger does shroud the truth.
