So glad to hear your feeling better 
I think the sleeping it off solution definitely does wonders, or brings us back to being able to rationalise our thoughts without them overwhemming us. I think i remember you calling it resetting the mind and for me this is exactly what i have to do.
This part of it is hard, i can relate to this feeling in my own way ans definitely glad you have woken up feeling better and worked out a way to get through it

Hahaaa over four years sober here and still regularly feel like this. I have found it comes and goes in waves. Really I am just me throughout it all and it is how I feel about things that changes. That’s OK. We all struggle. What we struggle with changes. How much we struggle changes. But nothing lasts forever. I am talking to myself as much as I am to you here 
Learning to accept our individual incompetences is rubbish and can feel at odds with the self improvement type journeys we go on. But ya know we can only start where we are. And competence is relative. I might struggle with things you find more straightforward and vice versa. It’s not a competition. We don’t have to continually be better versions of ourselves. It is OK to just find acceptance and give ourselves grace for the things we struggle with. For me at least that is self improvement enough. Sometimes I suck at it 
Whether or not we detach the reality is there. Might as well embrace it and find the bits of happiness along the way
