Why don't I WANT to go to sleep?

See? There you go! How to get to sleep, how to calm down, how to make your self tired. I am the same way and have been since I was able to sneak out of bed without Mom and Dad catching me. I like to stay up. Even when I am dead tired, I stay up. Then of course I sit down in the easy chair to watch some tv ,and am asleep before I can see anything on it. I don't know why I don't like to go to sleep ,but I never have. Maybe it is something from when I was a little kid, about being the last one up, or getting to stay up as late as I wanted . Maybe In the back of my wee brain, I think I might miss something. That I know for sure I won't because what I don't get done during the day, I can do when I get up sleepwalking after I have fallen asleep. I haven't done that for a while,or at least I don't think I have. I haven't noticed any furniture moved around lately, or haven't cracked my head open thinking I was running after someone. I don't know. I guess I am just a Space Case for sure! Bye. What to start a space case club? We can stay up every night! Lol!!

I am just like that I feel like I would rather stay up and do something that go to sleep like sleeping is a waste of my time but I know I need to because I have to get up early or for whatever reason I need to go to sleep. I have really don't want to haha. But I guess I just have to come to the decision that I have to and I force myself to like I am a little child.

I've been searching this same question for a while. I see it asked, but the responses all deal with how to go to sleep or make yourself tired. I AM tired. I could fall asleep right now if I would just lay my head down...but I don't want to. I don't know why?? It's getting old quick and wearing me...

I don't want to sleep either... I think what'll help might be getting something to eat. You might feel a lil better then. Is it that you don't want to face tomorrow, or you don't want to waste your time sleeping when there's better things to do while you're free of troubles? That's how I feel sometimes. I also think that what you may need is just someone you could just talk to. It'll give you something to do and can be really worthwhile. Though I am unsure who might be awake to talk to. If you know anyone... Well.. It might help..

I am the same I actually kinda do wanna sleep but I don't at the same time and if I lay down I would sleep...but I have nothing to do I am on my phone literally just looking up anything that pops into my mind and repeating...Can I be in the space case club?

I'm like that, too. I have been trying to figure it out, also. In my case, I think I'm bored and frustrated, but keep looking or hoping for something to happen that I can connect to and find some fulfillment.

I say "I think" because I feel that I'm so much a part of the problem that it's hard for me to stand back and look at it with any kind of level vision or understanding.

it's like I DELIBERATELY sabotage myself, and when I do lie down, I talk myself into getting up and doing something stupid on the computer. I've tried all kinds of sleeping aids, including xanax but nothing works more than 3 hours, I am so tired and wish I had an answer

I think it s just getting in a bad cycle of staying up too late then crashing at 6:00 Pm then feeling full of energy at 10PM then dragging on until 1:00AM. Eventually making it to the bedroom and quickly falling asleep. Waking up at 6:00 AM and doing it over and over again. I know I should change my schedule but it s hard!

My personal interpretation is, I am haunted by the desire of pursuing sense of achievement. I feel great emptiness when I am alone especially in a very quiet night, and I simply wanna do all kinds of things to cheer me up and make my existence in this world seem more meaningful and important.

Anyway, I am going to watch a movie on laptop soon (at 1AM) and I think that will be good/big enough to achieve tonight.

Your husband could be suffering from the hijacking incidence. You must convince him to seek therapy. He needs an objective person to listen to him. You need to be more patient and show him love and understanding. He lashes out at you because you are the closest person to him. Try talking it out and do not be judgmental or think of him as less of a man. He is your husband and a human being that ran into something that was out of his control. If you love him you will help him in any way you can. Good luck
