I’ve got a great life, I am not trying to avoid tomorrow or whatever, but I just really like staying awake when I’m absolutely balls ass tired. It’s kinda addicting, like the sleepier you are, the more insanely good the sleep will be. So I find myself struggling, on purpose, to stay awake. I force myself to read books, or watch shows, or go on Lemmy… and I only just realized it’s because I love feeling sleepy.

So uhh, anyone else got this?

        I only say it as someone who likely has ADD myself, who has several family members with ADHD, who all do similar behaviors.

        But, I’m glad the question was downvoted by a few in the masses, as if I was making a negative insinuation… Having it isn’t always a con, in some aspects it’s a boon.

        It’s a somewhat common thing with ADHD folks. As different parts of the brain start to fall asleep, there’s a sweet spot where our brains are finally balanced. In other words, our limited executive function has adequate energy to manage just the fraction of the brain that’s still awake.
