If you ever bad night, you're going to go to bed pretty late. But then you're still going to wake up at the same time every day and stay awake all day. And so it re programms that conditioned arousal that's forcing you into this insomnia loop. It also boosts your sleep drive. So by the time you get to bed, your bedtime now, your sleep drive is that much higher.
