Supposed to be in at work at 8, brain starts pacing in worry at around 11pm the night before. “If I don’t fall asleep I won’t wake up on time”. 3:00, “ugh I don’t have enough hours to sleep well but if I don’t fall asleep now I’ll never get up!”. 5:00 "shit it might be better I just start up!). 6:30, “God I’m exhausted let me close my eyes for 30 minutes…”
I for some reason did this in my late teens, was fine from about 22-33 and now suddenly in my mid to late 30s (37) its back and feel stressed as ever about it
In my experience, that’s a coping strategy to make sure I don’t do the thing in the comic.
