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
I’m the complete opposite, I’m pacing around waiting for the time to leave
In my experience, that’s a coping strategy to make sure I don’t do the thing in the comic.
