Personally, I make myself go to bed, even though I don't want to, when I'm watching something good.
My husband is another story. He is horrible! And I can tell it's a childhood issue. If I say anything to him , he treats me like I'm the mean Mom, and that's way too weird for me. I believe your "inner grown up" needs to intervene and make you drag your butt to bed when it's time. Sleep issues have always wrecked my happiness, and now that I CAN sleep, I feel I need to take advantage of it.
Seems silly to be recovering from lack of good sleep and then sabotage it by not going to bed on time!
Just my two cents.

LeeLee, that is a valuable two cents.

I used to hate going to bed......because I knew I would have to wake up, wasted...
to face yet another day....wasted.
Another day of pain.
Desperately try to have a life and pretend that I was ok.
Try to convince myself that this day would be better.....but it never was.

I look forward to going to bed now.
The security of my mask.
To dream......to dream those amazing dreams.
To wake up and be granted another day......with a life.

....yea, that is a valuable two cents.
Thanks!

Yeah, I'm with Black Spinner, now that I'm getting good sleep again (no sleep debt), it's harder to fall asleep! Tonight, it's been too much excitment, houseguests, call to tech support re slow DSL speeds & require service minimum speed...too much left-brain activity too late, almost 4 AM and I'm still wired . Gonna try again and see if sleep will envelope me in its blissful embrace.
