I lie to myself by saying, "I can stay awake for one more episode" before eventually falling asleep on the couch sometime in the next 10 minutes. Then, approximately 3-4 hours later, I'll wake up, take my evening medications, brush my teeth, prepare for and then go to bed so I can lay there awake for the next hour or two trying to fall back asleep. Eventually, I'll dose off and get a few more hours of sleep, although never achieving the quality or depth of sleep I obtain while passed out on the couch.
