My positive interpretation is that it's introvert me. I need significant alone time and this is the only time slot where I'm not constantly bothered or interrupted.
The negative interpretation is that it's plain addiction. To distractions. News. Updates. Whatever.
Whatever it is, I can't solve it. I need a kick in the butt. Somebody to force me to bed.
The biggest psychological bad-habit I had to get over was ignoring my body/mind when I felt tired. If that means falling asleep in weird places, slightly earlier than expected or when there was still something I felt I needed to do, then just accept defeat for that day and let sleep take you over. Allowing my ego to accept defeat at the end of every day, to let sleep be the victor, that is the best way I can frame it for myself. In the end we're creatures that need sleep and to deny my own biology in that regard will lead to my own undoing.
The trick that helps is to realize that I will get more done tomorrow if I go right the fuck to sleep tonight.
