I love it because I fall asleep easier and wake up more fresh

    Everyone laughs like this is obvious, but I really struggle to do this. I’m not sure if it’s an ADHD thing, but I just can’t make myself go to bed at night. Extremely tired? Nah, I’d better wait until I hit a second wind. There’s unimportant stuff I’d rather do.

      Avoud blue light. Make your phone black and white when you should be sleeping.

    I can’t enjoy a good night’s sleep unless I have to force my consciousness into submission with a cocktail of 1937 Glenfiddich, Nyquil, and whatever I managed to steal from the hooker I just kicked out. Waiting until you’re tired is for pussies.

      For me it’s a cocktail of bath salts, incense, Enya, a long soak in the tub, and the screams of whatever housepet I happen to be drowning that day.

    No, I’m really bad at falling asleep at that point. I’m much better at falling asleep when I’m sorta awake and still have things I need to do before I fall asleep.

    Oh yes, so nice. I try to wait until I am physically sleepy to go to bed. And if it’s late I send a text to my husband that says: Let me sleep until I wake up.

    Yes it sounds like a stupid question, but it is an indulgence that not everyone gets to do. Many people have to work at a time that doesn’t match their natural daily rhythm. My work schedule is flexible-ish, so sleeping later if I have to is no big deal.
