You see, if you stay up until 3-4am you get to take part in this secret extra "day" without demands or interruptions that no one else knows about; which everyone just sleeps through 'cause they're dumb and myopic.

The rumors that the alarm will go off at the regular time and there are negative consequences of sleeping for less than 4 hours are entirely unfounded and, frankly, hurtful

Instead let's stay here till 2:30a playing dumb video game, become sleep deprived, and hate my entire existence in the morning even more than I already did

Being awake at night is a very nice time of peace. No responsibilities, noone wants something from you, you can just be in the crushing silence of your own thoughts

Revenge bedtime syndrome. It's legit.

It's called revenge bedtime procrastination

Having three kids, I get this sometimes. After bedtime is usually the first real chance I have to be alone in the day, so I don’t get any “Me” time until like 9 or 10 at night, and by that point I’m so exhausted, but maybe there’s something I’ve been wanting to get to all day I just don’t want to sleep. Other times I’m so wiped out I just let sleep take over, then do the whole thing all over again the next day.

The problem is waking up. Sleeping would be great if it would just keep going.

When sleep changes from an escape from depression to just a timeskip to more of it

the Sunday scarries is real, it can hurt you.

I better not play games else I won't get to bed until 4am. I'll watch YouTube/tiktok instead because it has lots of stopping points and I can pause it.

Not me watching YouTube/tiktok videos until 4am

It's past 10 am and I'm yet to go to bed

But then I have a free morning! Ive been awake since 7am on my phone and it's now 10 30 and I'm still in bed, unbothered lol

Another rail, another hour

brought back very dark memories
