Being asleep is cozy, but limited. Being awake to the bigger picture, where all is possibilities and not certainties, is not cozy, but unlimited. (The Tool song, Sober, is about wanting to stay asleep.) It also parallels the wave/particle duality, where, in the wave function all outcomes are possible, and in the particle function possibilities have collapsed to one.
A dark night of the soul, in my experience and observation, is not a one-time happening. The best way I have found to mitigate the despair/uneasiness/hopelessness/etc. is to stay open to possibilities in every sense. To not have "beliefs." And when I do spiral down, the way I crawl back up is to imagine and open back up to possibilities, in my "mundane" life, my worldview, and my cosmological and spiritual perspectives.
