Staying up is sometimes my way of putting off the next day.

I don't get home 'til 11:00 p.m.-ish and I'm still awake. Lately I've been listening to lectures and talks on Youtube until I fall asleep.

And awake again. Same as last night. It's a chronic pain problem and a recent rotator cuff surgery.

I watched the same movies or TV shows over and over and over again until I fell asleep.

It was comforting.

BTW, I started in 2010.

I now listen to news radio to fall asleep.

I have had so much trouble sleeping during periods of my life. I just started getting through another one recently. It is miserable. I hope it gets better for you soon.
