Nothing is a baseless concept but It is still an existance.

Depends on what you're asking. Are you talking about the after-life, drugs, meditation or something else?
Since sanity is the topic, I'm going to go with meditation. True meditation is achieving stillness (the void/nothingness) within the conscious and subconscious. It allows your mind and body to relax--30 minutes is the equivalent of 4-8 hours sleep. It requires willpower and patience, and will make you better at many tasks (your neural efficiency/speed shoots up). So yeah, delve into nothing at leisure.
However, only a fool thinks he believes in nothingness. On average, there's going to be more pain than pleasure over the course of your life, and you know you're going to die. If it doesn't mean ANYTHING (not necessarily religiously), if all there is to it is nothing, then you'd might as well kill yourself and spare yourself the misery.

Sanity, insanity is of the mind and when you drop the mind, so do they end.
Nothingness though is a new beginning all together...

Final destination. Both the beginning and the end.

It is not refuge but the ultimate destination.
