I have been struggling with my sleep cycle for probably 2 to 3 solid years now.
Whenever I'm "tired" I never want to actually go to sleep because I don't want to miss out on any fun time
But whenever I'm not tired and know that I should be sleeping I can't and end up getting annoyed and just scroll on my phone until like 3 in the middle of the night or later
Does anyone recognize this and maybe have any tips or some motivation
I know I should just take my lazy ass to sleep but I just don't want to go to sleep bored

RE: Why do I always struggle to fall asleep? 07-05-2024, 07:26 AM #2 It sounds like you're caught in a cycle of wanting to stay up for fun but then feeling annoyed when you can't sleep later. It's a common struggle, but there are steps you can take to improve your sleep habits. Have you tried setting a bedtime routine or creating a relaxing environment before bed? Also, limiting screen time before sleep can help your body wind down. Making small changes like these can gradually improve your sleep quality.

RE: Why do I always struggle to fall asleep? 08-05-2024, 02:29 AM #3 come up with a bedtime routine, could be washing face and brushing teeth or reading book with a cup of tea, then you gotta set a solid bed time, not necessarily be asleep but be in bed by a certain time. with no distractions if you perform those hand in hand you should be good
