weird sleep problem

This may be a weird problem...

When I am hanging out with people, keeping busy prior to bed, and/or spending the night with girlfriend, I am a pretty healthy sleeper. I may not go to bed early, but once I do get in bed I'm tired and i fall asleep.

On the other hand, when I am bored and alone at night, I am an uunhealthy sleeper. I never can find the willpower to go to bed, and once I do finally get in bed I usually can't sleep. I always end up on my computer or reading till late. I feel restless and bored, even though i might be sleepy. Take tonight, for instance. Why am i posting on OOT at 1:30AM.

Do other people have this problem? How can I discipline myself to go to sleep when i'm by myself?

I think everybody on OOT has this problem, only a lot worse than yours.

My sleep schedule keeps getting later and later. I currently go to bed at 9am and wake up at 4pm. Today I am trying to correct it by going to bed tommorow at 8-9 pm.

I pretty much live on a 26 hour clock. It sucks, been that way since I was a kid though,

Oh I am as [censored] up as can be in this area. Believe me when I say it can get ugly and that 01.30 Friday night is nothing at all.

I recently discovered that I have lived on a 30 hour clock for two years now. It totally sucks.

more interesting is OPs point about how he is always reading the internet rather than actually willing himself to go to sleep. I do this too... I have no idea why but i call it 'zombiing on', you're seriously just braindead clicking on random links and [censored] with no real engagement in the task. I think it actually takes less effort to do this than sleep and we have become so apathetic that this is the result.

Do you exercise regularly? This can really affect how you sleep. IE: if you miss a day etc

yes exactly. This is what happens when i am by myself. When there are others around i don't have this problem.
