I had this theory several years ago that my sleepless nights was due to someone making me feel bad.
For the past couple of weeks, I had been really sleeping so well. I was well rested, I slept early and would wake up at my usual time feeing good.
But then last night, it's like a switch was turned off. Somebody made me feel so bad that I couldn't sleep at all. I watched Sugar on Apple TV until sleep finally caught on me.
I woke up way too early because i still feel really bad and couldn't make myself go back to sleep.
What makes you stay up so late?

Yeah that happens to me. I tried to sleep but it was elusive.

@LadyDuck Yeah, I dont have my books with me anymore and I don't like reading on my iPad or phone because of the glare. I'm actually considering getting a kindle.

I'm glad you seem to be sleeping better. Getting rid of unknown stressers in your life can help.

@toniganzon That's true for a lot of people. The people close to you can have the most impact.

@kaylachan Yeah because they matter much more to us and whatever they say or do will hurt is more than those we aren't that really close to.

Yeah, I don't get stressed with work no matter how busy it gets. I get more affected by the people who I consider important in my life.

Nightmares can keep me up. But lately I haven't sleeping good because either I'm too hot or I can't turn off my thoughts.

When it's too hot, I just turn on the air conditioner. But I can never turn off my thoughts. Too difficult.

The problem isn't that I stay up late but sleep only a handful of hours.

@JohnRoberts Yeah I do get that. 4- 5 hours of sleep. 6 hours is a luxury for me.

Yeah and imagine that person just fell asleep as if nothing happened. That made me feel worse.
