<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

It's only 1 AM right now, and I went to sleep at 9 PM. The past night has felt like an eternity. I'm scared of going back to sleep, though my worst symptoms seem to have alleviated themselves.

Basically, sleeping for the past 4 hours has consisted of this: writhing and feeling incredibly hot and in pain; my mind racing with ideas for inventions and expanding upon them; and me feeling shitty, half awake, and not knowing if I'm asleep or not. Right now I have a clear enough head to type this, but I'm afraid I'll go back into this state if I go back to sleep. The thing is, I'm on vacation in Monterey right now, and I have a 6 hour drive back home tomorrow. I want to just stay up until morning, but that'll make my drive a nightmare. I'm not sure where I. Going with this, but I just want to get my feeling out and hopefully get some advice from y'all.
<bot>: Trying to sleep with a bad cold caused me to have what feels to me like a bad trip, minus the hallucinations. I don't want to go back to sleep, but I should. What do?
