It's very encouraging to hear someone else has trouble sleeping for the same reasons.

It's very encouraging to hear someone else has trouble sleeping for the same reasons. Just to add on to what you've said, I find myself holding off sleeping because it means that another work-day is waiting when I wake up. Meaning, when the time to go to sleep (a good time) rolls around, all I can think of is all the things I haven't done that I should do. And that is stressful, so I end up holding off sleep even more, doing shit to distract myself. Such as Reddit, Quora, or YCombinator. The things that I feel like I should have done are either personal growth or skill-improvement, or something (like you said) that I wanted to do to meet my own needs. And it is really frustrating because it makes work a ton harder and it's discouraging, because I know I'm not performing at, or near, 100% like I could be. I don't know what a good solution is, but it was helpful to read someone else who struggles with the same problem. Thanks for your story. Cheers.
