    When I find new and amazing music artists. Sometimes, I'll discover a new music artist I really like. It'll be 10 at night, I'm getting ready for bed. Then I start playing some of their songs ("just a couple of them"). But then I'll have a hard time turning off the music and then 10 PM turns to midnight. Sometimes, when I'm really feeling it, I end up dancing in my room at night because I have to get it out of my system :expressionless:. Lately, I've been getting into Glass Animals.

    Either that or internet browsing, watching something, or sometimes insomnia. One time I went to bed at 10 and didn't fall asleep until around 3 - 4.

    The fact that I'm undateably ugly. Two years and counting. My skin crawls at the thought myself, it often stops me from sleeping.

    I go to bed early but thoughts of sex wake me up.

    Acid reflux, needing to pee every few hours or being kicked in my organs hard enough to wake me. Pregnancy is so glamorous.

    Usually it's my AO that keeps me awake---no position is comfortable for long. Otherwise it's getting up to go to the bathroom once or twice a night. :'(

    The screaming toddler in the next apartment. She screams until about 1am and then starts again around 5am.

    I think its anxiety... but I don't feel anxious. I have to use a CPAP and when the kids are watching TV and everyone is up and playing I fall right to sleep (I sleep in the living room) when everyone finally goes to bed I'm WIDE AWAKE... I have to feel totally exhausted to be able to out the CPAP mask on. All I know is when everyone else is asleep I can't sleep. I should be on C-shift...lol

    Anxiety here, too. I sleep very lightly and if anything wakes me up I'm up for the night. I suck at the "go to sleep" game.

    My brain for sure. It only wants like 2-4 hours of sleep. Sometimes less. Then I start thinking of ridiculous things that don't matter, then try to think of why I feel so anxious!
