Re: Not wanting to go to sleep
kid: "Same goes on weekends. I'm often up until 5 with no reason to be, then I sleep wicked late. None of my chores get done and it takes me longer to "get going"." Yeah, weekends are when this is a real problem for me and results in me not doing stuff that I wanted to get done.
All: The best solution I've found to this is really hard workouts. Those days I can usually make myself go to sleep a couple hours sooner than normal.
Al: I dunno. I have the problem for longer than I think I should. Also, it's like doubly bad when sleeping at their place. Obviously it's some sort of trust/fear/insecurity issue.
All: The worst outcome of this is when I'm like tired as hell at 10pm, then fall half asleep for half an hour around 11, then am pumped up and ready to stay awake 'til 4. I'm trying hard to go to sleep as soon as I'm tired enough to go to sleep. Very tough, though. Mainly on weekends, this results on me sleeping on the couch far more often than I should (which is not nearly as restful as my bed).
