So, the other day I learned that many people have nighttime procrastination (it's some type of procrastination) because they don't have control over their lives in the day, and do they instead get their freedom at night, not allowing them to sleep.

 

In Chinese, there is an expression called "報復性 熬夜", that can be translated by "the revenge of the unsatisfied insomniacs". I learned that a while ago, and it really does catch the concept, cause most of the insomniacs are "unsatisfied" due to a lack of rewarding activities in the day. In this case, as a defense reaction, the brain decides to switch the logical circadian reaction due to the overload of stress and tiredness he accumulated in the day (it's fake tiredness since it's more a defense coping mechanism in the day) and the true tiredness becomes a fake normal day rate. 

 

I know this is not the case for every insomniac, but I thought it was a cool fact to share. 

 

We can use this post to share artists whose music helps us relieve anxiety and facilitates falling asleep, too.

Cigarettes After Sex and Sleeping at last (LOL). 

 

 

 

If you really have trouble sleeping, I'd recommend you listening to ASMR. It really helps me. Or talking to a professional, lol. 

No matter what I do, I sometimes just can't fall asleep. I believed it was due to stress and constant worrying. This sounds like this could be my condition

 

 

I mean, that's why I use Grindr at night

I feel you 

 

I never can wake up in the morning, either. I just wanna sleep.

 

Right now it's around midnight here and I feel sleepy af. I'm gonna read six more pages, than take a shower and then I plan to go to sleep. However, as soon as I lay down, a feel too much energy. I wanna laugh, sing dance. If I find someone interesting on Grindr with the same condition, I'm not sleeping until dawn. 

I notice this tends to happen to me moreso if I get on a constant t stroll spree either thru yt shorts or tiktok 

 

This actually makes a lot of sense. 

watch something extremely boring and you will instantly get tired and fall asleep. it works every single time for me 

i take melatonin

This is literally describing me  Every day i tell myself this time i'll fix my sleep schedule just to stay up late anyways, even if i have to go out early ill just deal with having only 3-4h sleep 

You need to read a book, it will tire your brain and eyes

 

I found that past a certain point it’s harder for me to fall asleep. If I go to bed right when I first start feeling tired around 10:30/11 then I usually just fall asleep easily

Is this why I suddenly feel like being productive when I finally lie down in bed?

this and because in the olden days in many places it was the standard to go to bed for a few hours, wake up in the middle of the night and be productive for a few hours, then go back to sleep  . it was seen as the ideal sleeping pattern

been taking melatonin pills since december and it truly changed my life

I'm gonna fly to Spain at the end of March to see a very renowned doctor that is a neurologist, cardiologist and psychiatrist to consult for a sleep disorder related to this. he's got a whole clinic and medical team to treat patients with chronic insomnia.
