Re: Not wanting to go to sleep
I have had this problem as long as I remember. I fight sleep. Sometimes I watch TV in bed, and will force myself to stay awake.
El D, did you have a lot of bad dreams when you were a kid? or now? If so, that could be the problem. I used to get night terrors when I was a kid, so I think that my body fought it by staying awake to the point where it is the only way I know how to live.
I also stay up extra late when I have stuff to do the next day. My inner monologue is something along the lines of "If I go to bed now, the time will pass without me knowing it, and then I will have to go to XYZ, but if I stay up I can put off going."
It sux because it is totally irrational and stupid. I know better, but I do it anyway.
