Yeah, so much this. In my case it's designing or "coding" (still in my head) something related to my current projects. There's no point in going to bed if I have some unsolved project-related problem because I will not be sleeping anyway...
Haha, yeah, I know it very well. It can help but it's not a silver bullet. I can't (and don't want to) use it every day because it affects my cognitive abilities too much. Also, even with weed I still need to actively distract myself with something else, because otherwise I'll end up just as hyperfixated, but also high.
Is this behaviour autism related? Because I thought these are symptoms of adhd - it sounds like my typical adhd nights (but I am still thinking I might be on the spektrum as well, so idk)
Y'all, ask your doctor about a sleep aid. I got a prescription that changed my life. It's so nice being able to settle the noise at night and actually get 7-8 hours of sleep.
