Overall I’m quite lucky with sleep. I have episodes of insomnia but overall I’m not bad. But when I do have a stint of not sleeping, or even just a bad night; I know it before it happens.
Sometimes it’s obvious, I’m triggered or anxious about the next day or whatever. But other times there’s no rhyme or reason for it. I’m not even like wired or full of energy. I just, go to bed and turn the light out and know, that nope, not going to happen tonight.
And then I wonder if it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I just don’t know how because there’s nothing I’m aware of as to why and there’s nothing in my head about it until that moment I lie down and then it becomes apparent. It’s as boring a state-the-obvious fact as turning the light off makes the room dark. I’ve turned the light out so now it’s dark and I won’t be getting any sleep.
