Any parent knows that you can't go straight from doing-stuff to sleep; your brain needs some veg-out stuff to just process things. (I mean, I can sleep, but something unpleasant builds up if you don't let decompression happen)
By the time I've left work, done grocery shopping, made dinner, cleaned up after dinner, done laundry etc, it's already late, and I've had no me-time to just decompress. (especially when chores drag out longer the more tired I get...)
And apart from that, there's a mixture of FOMO, resentment and just clawing-for-agency that makes me rebel against the only boundary I can shift, even though I'm the one that suffers for it.
I AM THE NIGHT
the factory must grow
unfortunately, I share that same passion. Currently working on a 1000spm factory
Video games, because I don't have time to play during the day.
23:00 - "One last then I turn it off"
01:45 - "Shit"
I've studied for years and got a well paying job, I cannot just switch to something else without cutting my pay in half. But my work isn't enjoyable, it outright sucks on most days. Going to bed early surrenders the only time of the day I can be happy and skips right to work again.
A 2.5 year old and an 8 month old.
I'm typing this while waiting for my 3.9 years old to fall asleep (she was up extra late today) Then it's time to get her 12 year old brother to bed. I can hear their mom wrangling the 9 and 10 year old brothers through the evening routine right now.

Is this a typo?
Yes. Edited accordingly
because it skips to a time where I have a new day's worth of responsibilities which sucks.
Adhd
Yep. I could be reading a book and intending to finish the chapter I'm on and suddenly it's 4 am and I've read 6 more chapters and about 100 pages to go so I might as well finish it. Also applies to watching a show or playing a game.
Random thought appears. Welp, guess I'm learning all about it for the next several hours.
Same, just lying down in bed won’t do it. I have to exhaust my brain first, then I can sleep.
Not wanting to go to bed early.
Hyperfixation on random topics. The other day I was so invested in the history of mobile phones that I stayed up until 2:30am by accident while researching useless info.
Sleep procrastination.
I don't want to die.
What if I die in my sleep.
What if the house catches fire and I can't escape in time because I was asleep.
There are so many other things I could be doing.
I don't have enough life left.
What if I miss something important or cool.
What if there's a burglar when I'm asleep and it goes south and they murder me.
What if I have an aneurysm in my sleep.
What if I have a stroke in my sleep.
What if I have a heart attack in my sleep.
What if there's a gas leak and the house explodes while I'm asleep.
What if there's a CO leak and I just asphyxiate.
What if I just never wake up for no discernible reason.
I wanna play more video games.
I wanna browse the internet more.
I don't want to have the bad thoughts come back like they always do when I try to sleep.
Ah yes, the "what if I fall asleep and X happens, I should stay awake" anxiety. Fighting the inevitable...
I've dealt with that all my life. Recently it got so bad that I was waking myself up in the middle of the night with these thoughts. I just got a prescription for lorazepam and it has helped more than anything I've tried. I hate sleeping pills because they give me a hungover feeling in the morning. This one just shuts down the anxiety so I can sleep naturally.
Wanting to have a life as an adult after our kid goes to bed.
working too many hours and having too many hobbies
Los of work needs lots of hobby-time to keep equilibrium.
My brain lol
Procrastination on going to bed.
My brain ignites right before I'm supposed to sleep...it decides to ponder not only existence but nit-pick every choice I've made that day
It takes me hours to fall asleep. If I tried to go to bed early, I would pretty much do nothing but work and attempt to sleep.
Insomnia
If I go to bed early, I have to get up and pee at some point during the night. And since it's way too cold, I'll usually lie awake for half and hour before I can actually get myself to leave the bed.
It's the only time I have to myself
I'm not tired.
I resent every moment I am not awake. It takes away time from me not being at work.
Revenge bedtime procrastination
I don't want to and have no reason to.
The fact that I'd just stare at the ceiling till at least 23:00 EVEN THOUGH I WAKE UP AT 4:00 just to be tired the whole day as usual until the sudden energy boost around 18:00.
What's the point of school starting at 7am?
The first class looks like this: Students sleeping on tables, teachers trying to not do the same, the only active group of people is the line at the coffee vending machine.
And the productivity remains greatly reduced for rest of the day.
1½ years ago it used to be 7:50. Apparently too late.
Meanwhile I recently seen a study that even 8:30 might be too early, and giving a new recommendation of 10am.
But it could be worse. I've heard from someone on Reddit that they start at 6am. What the fuck...
My gf always wants to "stay up late" but usually ends up falling asleep first.
Discovered a great comics, have been reading it until 4 am two days in a row. Send help.
I absolutely love feeling sleepy. There's nothing better than the dark quiet night in my cosy warm bed, with my brain feeling light and my eyelids feeling heavy. I edge that shit for as long as I can.
