My insomnia has been really kicking into high gear recently. A combination of medication and stress, but still not fun. Several days in a row of 5-6 hours of sleep. Ugh.
Last night was the final straw, I got out of bed and did some work until I was tired enough (still took 30 minutes to fall asleep). I know this isn't healthy, but I don't care, I'm tired of laying in bed trying to sleep.
I read that sometimes insomnia is subconsciously self-inflicted because we want an excuse to get out of bed and do one more thing for the day (play that video game, read that book, stream another episode, whatever). Definitely true for me!
