Why going to sleep feels like giving up control.
It's 2 AM. You are exhausted. But you refuse to close your eyes because of 'Revenge Bedtime Procrastination'.
Why the night owl is actually just paralyzed.
🦉 Revenge Procrastination
You spent all day masking and doing things for other people. Now, the quiet night is the only time you have autonomy. Going to sleep means the cycle restarts.
⚡ The 11 PM Second Wind
Right when you should be winding down, your brain suddenly floods with creative ideas or the sudden urge to reorganize the kitchen pantry.

People Also Ask
Why do I resist going to sleep even when I'm tired?
Sleep is a massive transition state. ADHD brains struggle with stopping an engaging activity (scrolling/watching TV) and initiating a non-stimulating activity (lying in the dark).
