    Body: I’m tired, let’s go to bed

    Brain: Nah, I think I’ll stay up super late instead and be tired tomorrow for no reason.

      You forgot my favorite of sleep-hating-brain internal dialogue!

      "Why would you need to sleep until your alarm goes off when I can wake you early and you can be anxious about not sleeping! Or all the stuff you feel you should now start but are too tired to do even though you know I won’t let you sleep!

      Wouldn’t want to sleep through that! Why do you think I kept you up so late??"

      There’s also:

      Brain: Okay, time to do things!

      Body: Ehh… Later, let’s just lay here and have anxiety about not doing the things

        "In a world of disorder I lie awake

        Knowing there’s nothing I can do

        In a world of disorder I lie awake

        Knowing there’s something I can do"

        Disorder - Chiasm

        There’s different ways to interpret these, but given the topic here I’ve found another one.

      This every night. And then I also get up early, or I don’t have enough time to build up dopamine to make my day a little easier (especially pre-meds and ultimately the end of the day when meds are done for the day).

        I’m in my 40s now and still get to bed after midnight and wake up around 5. This shit has been going on for over a decade and I’m wondering when my body will actually sleep.

      I mean, if you don’t how will you end up with your body feeling tired tomorrow? It’d ruin the whole routine!
