Don't know about you but I have been suffering of this illness for a very long time...
It started when I was a little girl and I would never want to go to slepp when told to by my parents. For some reason I imagined that a whole life of fun was starting when I was pu to bed. That adults were starting the fun once the children would be asleep and therefpre I would always struggle to stay in bed and start sleeping.
It then got even worse when I started going out and would always be the last one up. Like I would be scared of missing something. Nowadays I am still going to bed too late for no reason. And I can't really explain why so. My boyfriend who likes to party and used to be the last one up is also amazed that I am still beating him up at it and can only go to bed after him.
I think that I do actually enjoy this moment where everybody is asleep but me. I love to feel the silence of the night. It feels like I am reigining over this asleep kingdom that makes me queen of it as I am the only one still awake.
Of course this makes me sleepy when all the others are awake and kind of numb towards what is really happening around. But I think that I like it.
Anyone like me amongst you?

I remember been sent to bed as a child, and laying awake listening to the opening credits of Star Treck. I would come out onto the landing and call down,
'I know what you are watching.'
Only to be told to go back to bed... -

I am a total night owl. I just hate going to bed but love to lie in bed awake in the morning.

I always like to go to bed late and lie-in in the mornings and I reckon that is the proper way although it is not easy because my friend Helen always wants me to come to sleep but I made up a rule where if I have started to watch a programme even if it is late then I must be allowed to finish watching it and that seems to work very well :¬)
