Anyway, the psychologist helping me with my sleep problem has helped me. The problem is very simply an intolerance of boredom.

It's simply that I find discussing, reading, listening to interesting things more enjoyable than lying down with my eyes closed.

And so I do that until I simply can't keep my eyes open any more even tho I will enjoy the next day way less coz I'm so tired. Which is nuts

So essentially, I'm like a toddler who won't give in to sleep because there's too much interesting stuff going on & sleep is boring.

In the absence of a responsible adult to put me in my bed,remove all distractions & ignore my protests, I'll have to develop self-discipline

But it seems I do go to great lengths to avoid being bored including avoiding people so maybe the question isn't such a silly one.

Seems the secret to being more sociable, sleeping better & being generally more productive is learning to tolerate boredom. Bugger.

I can be very sociable & use my mind. Find some friends who enjoy a good thought excersize. Sleep is also good for the mind.

Lack of sleep slows us down, mentally. There are a lot of good arguments to be made for routine & sleep. You are just like my oldest kid.
