Closing Time
She couldn’t sleep… which for Buffy Summers was actually an unusual feat. By the time she collapsed into bed at night, she was normally so tired that she was out cold before she could even reach up to turn off her bedside lamp. It wasn’t that she wasn’t exhausted, for she was.

Though it wasn’t a pleasant experience, at least she was feeling something. After weeks of numbness, any sensation was better than nothing.
