It cuts into the one part of the day i have to myselff
because it skips to a time where I have a new day's worth of responsibilities which sucks.
That's very true, but there's something so blissful about those rare days I go to bed and wake up at like 2am and just kind of consciously drift in and out of a very light sleep for 5 hours. Just awake enough to think and relax, but not enough to stress over the upcoming day and responsibilities.
Sleep procrastination.
Ever tried to shut down an ADHD brain that has easy access to a multitude of distractions?
I can sleep when I'm dead. I need free time.
It's the only time I have to myself
I AM THE NIGHT
My brain ignites right before I'm supposed to sleep...it decides to ponder not only existence but nit-pick every choice I've made that day
Recognizable.
My brain hits it's creative peak hours when laying down in bed in a dark room. It's like rush hour on a busy road.
Revenge bedtime procrastination
I sign on to YouTube and it's 2am before I know it.
I'm not tired.
My lifelong insomnia.
Hyperfixation on random topics. The other day I was so invested in the history of mobile phones that I stayed up until 2:30am by accident while researching useless info.
My chronic doom scrolling addition.

I upvoted far too many posts in this thread.
Nothing
Just before bedtime I am the most productive, wide awake, and the calm of night is less stressful. I would rather get things done.
Nothing. I’ve finished work, made a pizza, grabbed some wine and gone to bed before. It was glorious
I don't want to and have no reason to
I dunno how to/if you can follow people on Lemmy, but your comments and posts are hilarious. Cheers.

Discovered a great comics, have been reading it until 4 am two days in a row. Send help.
I'm a night owl, which means I have to be exhausted to sleep earlier
If I go to bed early, I have to get up and pee at some point during the night. And since it's way too cold, I'll usually lie awake for half and hour before I can actually get myself to leave the bed.
Hahaha, that's exactly what I'm doing now! Lying here trying to get myself to get up out of my warm bed, into the cold, and go pee so I can lay back down.
It doesn't help that this weather is painful hell on my joints & I keep waking up in an intense panic that leaves me super anxious for ages. Why must our bodies be the way they are!? I want a refund.
Lately, "just one more episode" of the tv show ER. It's just too compelling and designed to pull your attention in with the music hits when they get a new trauma in and start yelling.
Often times, I go to bed with intentions of sleeping early, only to find out that my wife has other plans for me. ❤️
the factory must grow
unfortunately, I share that same passion. Currently working on a 1000spm factory

Same, just lying down in bed won’t do it. I have to exhaust my brain first, then I can sleep.
Random thought appears. Welp, guess I'm learning all about it for the next several hours.
My kids, mainly.
Procrastination on going to bed.
My body seems to default to a day slightly longer than 24 hours.
This gets worse during summer/winter when daylight does not help in keeping my sleeping habits in check.
Insomnia
the algorithm and demand for notifications on lemmy (and to an almost null extent mbin and kbin)
The fact that I'd just stare at the ceiling till at least 23:00 EVEN THOUGH I WAKE UP AT 4:00 just to be tired the whole day as usual until the sudden energy boost around 18:00.
What's the point of school starting at 7am?
The first class looks like this: Students sleeping on tables, teachers trying to not do the same, the only active group of people is the line at the coffee vending machine.
And the productivity remains greatly reduced for rest of the day.
1½ years ago it used to be 7:50. Apparently too late.
Meanwhile I recently seen a study that even 8:30 might be too early, and giving a new recommendation of 10am.
But it could be worse. I've heard from someone on Reddit that they start at 6am. What the fuck...
If your energy picks up late in the day you should research cortisol cycle. I won’t elaborate because I’m lazy.
working too many hours and having too many hobbies
It takes me hours to fall asleep. If I tried to go to bed early, I would pretty much do nothing but work and attempt to sleep.
Late evening is the time where my mind works best.
I don't want to and have no reason to.
I don't want to die.
What if I die in my sleep.
What if the house catches fire and I can't escape in time because I was asleep.
There are so many other things I could be doing.
I don't have enough life left.
What if I miss something important or cool.
What if there's a burglar when I'm asleep and it goes south and they murder me.
What if I have an aneurysm in my sleep.
What if I have a stroke in my sleep.
What if I have a heart attack in my sleep.
What if there's a gas leak and the house explodes while I'm asleep.
What if there's a CO leak and I just asphyxiate.
What if I just never wake up for no discernible reason.
I wanna play more video games.
I wanna browse the internet more.
I don't want to have the bad thoughts come back like they always do when I try to sleep.
Ah yes, the "what if I fall asleep and X happens, I should stay awake" anxiety. Fighting the inevitable...
