I googled it— "Hate going to bed", and turns out it's not an abnormality after all. In fact, there are so many guilty-as-charged, studies have been conducted.
Brenda Savoie writes about this in her blog post:
How To Break Your Bedtime Procrastination Habit
I'm not surprised to see mentions of mismanagement of time, as well as the inability to sleep as side-effects of chronic bedtime procrastination.
Brenda also lists some pointers that might help rid us of this habit. The one I relate to the most is getting into the habit of purging any excess feelings that might still be occupying our fragile minds (I know it's not just me).
This includes any type of feeling— Anger, frustration, sadness, and even happiness!
... if you manage to express your feelings constructively and prevent them from building up inside you, chances are you will find it easier to go to sleep.She suggests yoga as a means to release these emotions and calm down. Hmm.. yoga. Yoga?
Lastly, since every single page about this issue suggests "limiting technology" before bed as a solution, I gave it a thought.
To be honest, playing triple town on my phone before bed really helps get me sleepy. It might be worth it to ditch this ritual, specially since technology before bed might have an effect on the quality of sleep. Ye, it's true. Everyone is talking about it.
So today's conclusion– think about yoga, or meditation maybe. I know I'm the type of person who gives into mood-swings and emotions. Might be worth it.
