Anyone else just really dislike sleeping?

I've various sleeping problems, I've always had sleeping problems, and it all boils down to this; I don't like to go to bed.
Essentially going to bed in my mind is going to purposefully do nothing for several hours at a time, which doesn't appeal.

Yes, I don't like sleeping for this reason eggswell.

However, I recently learned about a disease called fatal familial insomnia (FFI). In FFI, a person loses their brain function of being able to sleep, and all their brain functions deteriorate as a result of not sleeping for months on end. Eventually, after months of not sleeping, they die. FFI is caused by prions and is usually inherited, but there have been a few sporadic cases reported.

In conclusion, even though I don't like to sleep, and I think that sleeping wastes lots of time bester devoted to my special interests, I am glad that I have the ability to sleep, and that my brain can do whatever it does to itself during sleep to continue to function.

I love sleep but I don't like the routine I absolutely have to go through in order to sleep. I do have problems getting to sleep though, right now it's almost 2 am and I woke up 6 pm yesterday from a nap that ended up taking around 3 hours to complete. So yeah, I have my reasons for not liking sleep, well, at least the process of getting into it. Well, I have to go through this again, ugh, night.... :/

I stay up late for this very reason. Then I get myself over tired and can't sleep at all until a couple hours later or so. I just want to stay up and have fun on the computer and watching my favorite movie and listening to my favorite music.

I used to hate sleeping, but I've noticed that if I stay awake too long, I become irrational. Usually mild paranoia (as in the clinical term, not the colloquial term), so I make a point of sleeping regularly. However, I have difficulty regulating my sleeping schedule and often end up staying up all night and sleeping for most of the day, which still bothers me.

Fibromyalgia made sleep difficult and exhausting at times, but currently I have medication that helps ease that problem.

I dislike the fact I HAVE to sleep too.

It's 8am - I know I should sleep as my TV and laptop have been on for far too long, and because I should really get into a more regular sleeping pattern so I can get things done during the day...currently I'm pretty much nocturnal, but due to this being an abnormal sleeping pattern I'm still finding myself falling asleep on the sofa and getting confused about what day it is...which is impractical and unhealthy.

I should be asleep right not instead of reading about not sleeping, as usual there are not enough hours in the day.

I love to sleep. I get fatigued just doing normal everyday things and I function best with naps to recharge.

I hate sleeping, because there are so many other things that I'd rather be doing, like creating artwork, surfing the Internet, researching special interests, listening to music, etc... I wish sleeping could be optional instead of mandatory.

I love to sleep!! The only problem is, I love to stay awake more lol. I really like being able to get a solid 8-10 hours a night, but at the same time it can be really hard for me to make myself go to bed on time. I'll get caught up doing something fun late at night, and then just want to keep staying up...plus not wanting to wake up the next day for work.

You know, I always thought it'd be great if we could invent a magic pill that would 'cure' sleep...so you could stay awake all the time and never get tired or have mental/health effects from it. It'd essentially add 30% to your life span, since you'd be able to stay awake for all of that sleepy time!

I used to like sleeping in, but lately it seems to have lost its charm on me. Now I am an early bird.

I don't dislike sleep... but I often find it to be a waste of time.

For example, if I have to wait for something, I wouldn't spend that time sleeping - it would feel like I am wasting it, while I could be doing something more interesting and/or useful.

No, I don't dislike sleeping, but I do dislike how much time I spend sleeping. I seem to feel tired all the time and like I want to go to sleep. And then I do. Also if I'm bored, I just go to sleep. I don't have any sleep schedule to speak of. It's strange, I didn't use to sleep so easily/much. Now I can just go to bed and expect to fall asleep within a short time. It's been this way for a few years now but as of late it has been getting worse. Upside? Lots of interesting dreams. But. I rarely have the energy and motivation to type them down and so then I forget them. Just now I woke up and my dream was something about aliens and some creepy...no I can only remember atmospheres now and some places I can't describe well. Some swampy sort of area. Some desert-like area, too. And that for most of the dream it was from my own point of view (and I really mean that I was myself, I often am not) but at some point near the end it switched to being a video game or something. At least the atmosphere stays, even if the details don't.

I've noticed that if I stay awake too long my thoughts just turn into a complete mess I can't control anymore. And I start having some sort of micro-dreams, like very short dreams that are often just nonsensical sentences (like "You are empowered by mind to use spark all enrotted in bed" or “You should be equipped to honour sharks from both countries”) that somehow feel like they make perfect sense for the short time they're there. It's impossible then to not go to sleep since I won't be able to concentrate on anything and it's very unpleasant to be in that state.

I generally hate just resting, but i have to else everything else i do isn't fun either and then i break down, but i don't very much enjoy sleeping but i need it :/ It very rarely happens that i actually sleep alright, but it beats not sleeping because that makes me feel horrible.

I love going to bed. I feel going to sleep is my only escape from reality, and I can finally rest.

I do fall asleep quick. I go to sleep around 11.00pm-11.30pm, and I sleep the whole night through without waking up 'til 7.00am if I have to go to work, and anywhere between 7.30am and 10.30am when I haven't got work.

Yes, I am a good sleeper. But I never could sleep well as a child though. I remember when my cousins came to stay, they were always the first to fall asleep and I was still awake, tossing and turning.

I really like sleep, but when I have trouble sleeping I tend to get irritated. It seems that every other night or so I sleep well and can to sleep fairly easily then the remainder of the time I have a lot of trouble going to sleep. It my be partly due to stress and thinking about everything going on in my life. It does sometimes help to wake up and read a book and once in awhile this does not help and I feel like a complete insomniac.
