View submission: Just realize why I stay up late
For me, it started when I moved out of my family’s house for the first time. I was dealing with a lot of past trauma at the time and was terrified to sleep because the nightmares were so bad. I would stay awake until the sun had been up for a couples of hours then nap in my living room. This went on for about a year until my boyfriend and I moved in with another person. I always felt more comfortable sleeping when there were multiple people spread throughout the house. I still struggled with some mild paranoia that kept me awake, but it was more so my inability to break the habit of staying up late that kept me from sleeping. I didn’t mind it throughout my twenties, but now that I’m slightly older (early 30s) and just plain exhausted all the time, I hate it. I enjoy the alone time too much to fully commit to fixing it though. I do find it ironic how much I used to dread nighttime and now it’s the only time I feel truly relaxed lol
There's nothing here!
