She talks about going to bed only when she actually felt sleepy, not just physically tired.
Which I feel like isn't real insomnia. If I didn't go to bed until I actually felt sleepy (as in, almost falling asleep) most nights I wouldn't go to bed until 5am. That's with or without using my computer in the time between 9pm and whenever-I-feel-sleepy. And then my kids wake me up at 7:30. Even if they didn't, I'd be awake by 9am, not able to sleep anymore, but feeling really dragged out, stretched thin (like too little butter over too much toast), but not actually feeling sleepy.
Feeling sleepy, for me, is just not really a common occurrence. I occasionally feel sleepy in the mid-afternoon, especially if I've not managed my sleep well for several days. But if I relied on my sleepy-cue, I'd never get any sleep.
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoYeah I have some pretty bad insomnia, and I don't really feel sleepy. At some point I just kind of, crash. I could be drop dead tired from running/hiking, but unless I take sleeping pills, I have an extremely difficult time sleeping.
