HOW DO PEOPLE FALL ASLEEP SO FAST I DON’T UNDERSTAND I HAVE TO CREATE AND ACT OUT A WHOLE FUCKING MOVIE LENGTH STORY IN MY HEAD AND THEN CONTEMPLATE THE MEANING OF LIFE BEFORE I EVEN FEEL TIRED AND THIS BITCH STARTS SNORING IN TWO MINUTES
I used to have this when I was a kid. It turned out I just really hate nightlights and bed-sharing. Once I started sleeping in my own bed, with only the indirect, faint light of streetlights through Venetian blinds, I was pretty much fine.
I’m not saying that everyone’s insomnia is that easily cured, but it worked for me, and I doubt I’m the only one. There are probably people like ten-year-old me out there right now, taking two hours to fall asleep every night and wrongly thinking that’s just how things are.
