There are many potential causes for this:
1) is rhythm. If I were to stop going to bed so late I wouldn't be such an insomniac, posting on CC in the early hours of the morning when I really should be tucked up in bed.
2) is deep rooted psychological problems, for a long time now I've had troubles with insomnia. Before when I lived with my parents it was just about manageable as they would make sure on the most part I had gone to bed and since my computer is in another room it would be hard to go on and log on online games until stupid hours. However, now in my own place I can't bring myself to lie in bed. Why? I don't know but you get the cards you're dealt in life.
3) The noisy dickshits I live with. If they are going to be shoutin their asses off in the corridor pissed off their nut when I'm trying to get some kip what can a guy do? Might as well sit on my ass at the comp if I can't actually get down and hit the hay without being disturbed.
Do you drink caffeinated drinks?
I was caffeine sensitive my entire life and didn't know it until after I got pregnant. I wasn't sleeping. My doctor said that caffeine sensitivity is worse when you are pregnant and that I should lay off the caffeine. He was right. Even now I need 12 hours to get it out of my system. Even one Pepsi, after 2 pm, will keep me up way past midnight. When I was pregnant I had to cut it off by noon.
