I have a question for you folks, do you ever enjoy not going straight to sleep? I find the time when I'm laying in bed fantasizing to be very enjoyable after a hard day of reality. If I were to immediately fall asleep, I'd lose out on that hour of imagination.
- vonmoltke 8y agoNo, because when my mind goes idle it tends to start dredging up past mistakes to beat me over the head with. Fortunately, since I started taking anti-anxiety meds this tends to only happen with recent fuckups (so this week has been hard). My fantasizing at night tends to be a defense mechanism.
- jonathanleane 8y agoYeah this happens to me too. What meds, if I may ask?
- vonmoltke 8y agoVenlafaxine 75mg ER
- jonathanleane 8y agoThanks. And watch that right flank!
- wild_preference 8y agoEver since my late-20s, the thing my idle mind likes to fixate on just as I'm trying to fall asleep is my parents' mortality. Not the best sleepytime fodder.
- weliketocode 8y agoI can't imagine taking an hour every night to fall asleep. Sure, the occasional time spent in fantasyland can be nice, but I wouldn't want it to be necessary.
