Why do I go to bed so late

I would like to understand why…
There is no gain for me to live like this.
I give up every day things like dishes, storage etc.
I even gradually give up hygiene a little. I do not know why.
I was really very picky with hygiene before.

I don’t really feel anxious but just sad and tired.

I think if I went to bed earlier it would be better.
But why can’t I?
It despairs me a bit.

I still manage to get out of my house etc. But this has been going on for several months.

Do you easily get to bed early after living at night for a long time?

Is this the consequence or the cause of my problems?

Thank you.

Do you take your antipsychotic at night? I take it at night and it helps me sleep at around 11pm-12am everyday. Actually I have a problem in sleeping too much but I fixed that with caffeine pills.

Thank you all.

@anon66864989 that’s maybe a part of the problem, yes.
@everhopeful I often drink deca… Just a mug tonight.
@Aziz thanks. Actually I also don’t want to go to bed too early and having the AP knock me down.

Maybe I just like living at night… It’s a problem for me to be in good shape during the day. In addition it makes me depressed.

It feels nice to escape the day sometimes, people are asleep. And things are so quiet and peaceful.

It is basically useful for me because day time can be very very stimulating sometimes with all the hustle and bustle in the house.

Maybe it is the same for you.

You’re right with your both posts.
Just read an article about sleep procrastination… Well, i’m not the only one with this “suffering”.
Yes I think the same : at night, it’s quieter, we can do things we like.
I usually play music at night…

There’s a thing i want to mention : When I go to bed I think about some painful things.
It may also be a form of avoidance. Like an OCD…

Well, that’s just speculation. :slight_smile:

oh, so do you mean that you avoid sleep because it brings up painful thoughts?

Hello Mae,

It’s a probability, yes.
I was watching videos tonight.
I can say it also avoid thinking about whatever.
I know that the internet makes people addicted. I do not know much about addiction, but I know that it is somewhere an escape from reality.
I also run away from the news, from anything that reminds me the world as it is.

Even when I was practicing music last weeks, I think I was running away from reality by living at night and eating at any time.

Have a good night.
