Nah, I'm in my 30s and see sleeping as a chore. ADHD brain also makes it really difficult to fall asleep.

im almost 40 and my trick is to not try to fall asleep because if i try i end up staying awake longer due to frustration. i just watch youtube trombone tutorials until i pass out.

A medically irresponsible quantity of sleeping pills and whiskey can solve that problem!

Probably shouldn't mix those

This was a struggle for me at first too.

Until I realized that trying not to think of anything so I can sleep, is thinking about something.

The paradox of "trying" to sleep. The harder you try, the less you sleep.

I'm 30, but I have the same problem and do the exact same thing. I also take a 10mg melatonin capsule at 7:30-8:00 every night

Same. I've got too many awesome projects that I enjoy working on. Sleep is boring.
