Anyone else like to drink water when they're extremely thirsty?

Anyone else like to breath when they require oxygen?

Come on Lemmy, surely we can do better than this.

Everyone laughs like this is obvious, but I really struggle to do this. I'm not sure if it's an ADHD thing, but I just can't make myself go to bed at night. Extremely tired? Nah, I'd better wait until I hit a second wind. There's unimportant stuff I'd rather do.

This is truly the question of all time

Shout-out to all my homies who are tired all day, avoid screens before bed, read for a bit, journal, do mindful meditation, and take melatonin, but nonetheless lie in bed staring at their eyelids for 2 hours before slipping into a kind of restless unconsciousness that's too long and groggy to be a nap but too short to be a refreshing night of sleep.

Anyone else like food when they’re extremely hungry?

Me too! My bed feels SO much more comfy when I'm really tired

No I prefer to fall asleep mid morning when I'm awake and alert after two coffees

No, I'm really bad at falling asleep at that point. I'm much better at falling asleep when I'm sorta awake and still have things I need to do before I fall asleep.

You'll find waking up on your own time instead of using an alarm clock to be better. Good luck reconfiguring your sleep schedule to allow it and still be up in time for work or whatever.

No.

Trick question?

Ok hear me out. I’ll have a nap and be so glad to fall asleep. But then I get to bed and I’m like nahhhhh I just keep reading or playing this game.

I gotta get better at sleep hygiene 😅

As someone who slept 13.5 hours last night. Yes, the trick is to always be extremely exhausted!

No. I wish I could stay awake forever sometimes.

I FUCKING HATE IT

Oh yes, so nice. I try to wait until I am physically sleepy to go to bed. And if it's late I send a text to my husband that says: Let me sleep until I wake up.

Yes it sounds like a stupid question, but it is an indulgence that not everyone gets to do. Many people have to work at a time that doesn't match their natural daily rhythm. My work schedule is flexible-ish, so sleeping later if I have to is no big deal.

Depends on the type of tiredness.
Physical? Yes.
Mental? The reason will also probably keep me awake.
Sickness? I'm tired of staying in bed.

It's a bit like eating when you're actually physically hungry.

It feels very good.

It's an artform, like perfectly baking a poo. If you time it right you can basically fall straight asleep without your brain going "hey, I just thought of something!"

I messed up last night when I hit the wall after 9 days solidly on the go - I thought the bed looked nice and a little lie on it wouldn't hurt but I still had shit to do before bed. So I dropped off but my brain kept prodding me back to near consciousness and I kept on having weird sleep paralysis/false awakening dreams - including one in which I heard a woman murder a friend outside my bedroom door but I couldn't force myself off the bed to intervene.

I hate sleeping under any circumstances.
