Sleep Problems - Tumblr Posts
By the time I get into bed, I find myself picking up my phone and just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. I stay up past my bedtime, despite being exhausted and knowing I'd be better off going to sleep. This behavior is called "revenge bedtime procrastination."
(via How to stop revenge bedtime procrastination and get better sleep)
"Revenge bedtime procrastination" refers to a phenomenon where individuals, who feel that they lack control over their daytime activities, intentionally delay going to bed as a way to reclaim a sense of freedom and leisure during the late evening or early morning hours. This behavior often involves staying up late to engage in activities such as watching TV, browsing the internet, playing video games, or using social media.
We busting out the ✨Goodnight Lavender Herbal Tea✨ cuz times are desperate and I keep keep messing up my damn sleep schedule 😭😭 Also, cuz my eyes burn from being up so long💀
I tried melatonin pills last night and I didn’t sleep after 3 nights of barely sleeping
This reminds me of my sleep problems lol

I imagine his sleep schedule being a complete mess at this point.

Sleep Problems
My natural sleep cycle is 1am-9am (on a good night).
Since I'm starting college in August and I have a mandatory class at 8am, I have to get used to getting up around 7am.
Funny thing, during my senior year of high school, when I had to get up at 6:30, the quality of my sleep was horrible. It got worse when I burned out. After graduation, I could just follow my natural sleep cycle, and many of my sleep problems went away.
Now that my gap year is nearly over, we've tried to "reset my circadian rhythm," all the sleep problems are back in full force.
Sure, forcing me to get up early does make me pass out around 10pm, but it also results in constant nightmares, shallow/interrupted sleep, intense pain upon waking (my body feels like it's falling apart, even the thought of getting up makes it worse), lingering grogginess, and my constant/all-day fatigue is much less ignorable. In other words, short-term pain, no gain.
One alternative is to force myself through that first melatonin wave, since the effects of sleep-deprivation are preferrable to the above craziness. However, I don't think that 3 hours of sleep per night is a good solution long-term.
Anyone else deal with this? Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for the advice!
I'll definitely bring up these sleep issues + sleep meds next time I go to the doctor.
As for the early morning class, I apparently misunderstood it. That class is pretty flexible schedule-wise (it is mandatory for every student, but mainly for scholarship purposes). I have definitely been leaning towards scheduling school as the solution, so I'll definitely keep that in mind when registering for classes soon.
Thanks again!

I've recently noticed that all politicians look like my sleep paralysis demons so I drew this <3
Have fun sleeping tonight!!!!!
I know I only have 5 hours left to sleep and I still decide not to
When you settled your demons, listened to the most calming audio you could find and even took unorthodoxed methods to rest comfortably
Yet somehow, you're WIDE awake
...
I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS LOGIC
SOMEONE PLS EXPLAIN
Thank god for the Queue system, cause otherwise there would've been lots of back-to-back posts on main and sides up until, like 12 PM last night cause I couldn't sleep until then.
