View submission: Just realize why I stay up late

My therapist has been trying to help me figure out why I’ve had insomnia so bad my whole life. When I’m sleeping with someone I’m okay, but I will force myself to stay awake even when I’m tired if I’m by myself. I don’t think it’s the same reason as you stated, but I hope I figure it out soon.

Really similar situation with myself. You put it perfectly, “force myself to stay awake even when I’m tired if I’m by myself”. I have no real reason for why I do it other than I guess it’s the only time I feel like I’m existing without pressure or other people’s expectations.
