does anyone else get this

[buttons]

i never want to sleep but when i do i don't want to wake up, no matter how many hours sleep i got.


like when im going to bed whether it's early, normal time or late i always take my ipod or phone or a book. even if i'm tired i don't want to sleep >_> mainly cause i'm left with my thoughts for hours which drive me mad.then when it's time to get up, i don't want to get up. if i don't have to get up, i'll go back to sleep or lay there for hours doing nothing but thinking or listening to music. i don't get out of bed until my mum literally shouts at me to.


i'm not really a lazy person i make sure i do get up and dressed and go out every day unless the weather is really bad. + i generally do something productive but it's such a drag to initially get up. this isn't normal for me cause i used to wake up before 9am every weekend (but still always forced myself to stay awake at night), i dunno what's happened.

Yep, that's me all over. Although I am a lazy person, but generally I don't like going to bed, so I stay up for as long as I physically can a lot of the time, so naturally I'm not really going to want to get up after that. I could probably fix it without much effort, but I don't really want to. I enjoy the night, as it's about the only time I can get some peace. It might just be a phase, but I wouldn't worry about it unless you feel it's affecting your health or your studies.

I get that too. Can be stress related or something

[Cerys]

Exactly me tbh.
I don't actually think anything causes it, it's human instinct not to wake up or not to sleep maybe?

Or you might not want to sleep/wake up because you have to do stuff the next day which you don't want to do, so you're trying to make the day come 'slower'.

Yah I feel like I'm gonna miss out on something if I go to sleep (dunno WHAT it's not like anything ever happens) but then when I need to wake up I'm just like nahhhh sleeping is much better

PREFER DREAMS TO REALITY ______________XO

I do this, I'm always exhausted to the point where I want to sleep but my brain just keeps me awake, I get too occupied doing something or watching something, then when I do sleep say 4AM I think hmm, let me wake up at 10. But alarms get snoozed and cancelled and 10AM turns to like 2. Then by the time I work out and go out, the whole day is gone and it's repeat.

But I am half owl and I do have an iron deficiency so I always feel sleepy and like ****, I guess that's why I can't wake up as easy as some people. I know people who can run on like 4 hours a day, I haven't been able to do that since I was 15 and I'm 18 in 10 days.. Getting OLD.

You see for me, I never want to go to sleep, but when I do I only want the minimum. I don't have any issues getting to sleep, I can literally pass out at will. I think my problem is that I value my free time too much. Which might be the same case with those not wanting to go to sleep. Although I feel I'm in a boat all of my own not wanting to sleep more than five or six hours, anyone else like this?

You'd be surprised to see how many people this happens too. I've found myself to be in bed for 1am and my Mum will text me asking if I'm awake cos she can't sleep. I wake up at like 8am most mornings naturally, and feel like I've only had my eyes closed for a second. I always find having a really hot bath and then relaxing can help.

i wish i could sleep for a long long time, but whenever i get into bed i always cba to go sleep and play on my phone, stay on laptop etc. then when i do go bed i can't fall asleep for ages. i love sleeping though, mainly because my dreams are always so vivid and are usually lucid dreams anyway. that isn't always a good thing though, because it means i mix some of my dreams up with my actual memories

I generally go to sleep whenever and will get up at 11 latest (depends on when I went to sleep, usually more like 9:30/10). I inherited a trait from my dad that I can't stay in bed too long, will probably become much more apparent as I age.
