    Yeah that’s why when people tell me to just go to bed earlier I tell them it doesn’t help. I can take sleeping pills and pass out at 9 but I’m going to wake up 50 million times, have weird shallow fever dreams, and not fall asleep for real until 4 AM anyways so what’s the point? It’s not like it’s actually resting and then people give you shit for “sleeping 11 hours” when you finally get up so “late” at 8am.

      Yeah, It takes me 11 hours in a quiet dark cold room to get 6 or 7 hours of sleep. My husband can lay down and fall asleep within minutes under any conditions (like on a couch at a party - no problem. On our living room floor while playing with our kid, no problem.
