If you back to the teenage ages, I think when you all living in the High School, life is so easier. Because of that, you haven’t yet to bring out of responsibility for your life. Including earn money, pay something, and working hard start on Monday till Friday. But in teenage era, sometimes we were easier to taking of time to sleep on night. Because in teenage there’s no pressure that must bring in life.

You know, there’s a happy life when we were as teenage in High School. Seeking many friends, learning something, and enjoy in young age as it should be. And no to much burden aside of happy life. But, why at mature age there’s so hard to taking sleep on night time? I think, I have no idea to answer that. Cause I don’t have some answer, and I’m so hard to sleeping on night. Sometimes, I’ve taking time to sleep on 1 AM, 2 AM, or early time like 11 PM (If I’m lucky to sleepy). As a real, I’m so hard to get sleeping.

I think in mature age have so much implications and many reasons. Your stay on the screen, scrolling on social media, insecure, and overthink to think about future. It is so normally, because everyone think of that. Future has been priority to thinking. Usually, overthinking regarding of future, there’s any bunch of thinking about how to get more money, how to buy house, how to getting married, how to seeking a true love, how to get a new job, and many many ‘how’ in word. That’s so normal, but in fact sometimes is getting some stressed. You know why? Because we are so much thinking about that, instead if someone who not taking action. Just thinking, thinking, and thinking.

Either future was come true or stay at there without action, or end up with regret. Everyone has always thought that, and comes immediatly. When you are in 25 years old, 26 years old, or anything during in 25+, there’s have bunch of more pressure. The future was, I think, that’s reasons why people cannot sleep on night, including me. During as an unemployee in four months, I cannot sleep so long. Even my sleeping time was uncontrolled. I don’t know why, but I realize that I’m stay open my eyes and not tried so hard.

Are guys feeling this like me in this shit phase? Or we can say, in the mature age, indeed was hard to getting quality sleeping? If I’m to complain in this phase, I just wanna say get it back my sleeping like starting at 9 am asshole! But, you know, it doesn’t easier. I don’t know when this phase an end. Sometimes If I get sleeping, I usually taking from 1 am and woke up at 8 am. It is unhealthy for my body and my quality life.

Even when I got some work in company, I’m working while suddenly yawning. That’s so shit phase because I don’t get some quality life. It’s so insane, and I haven’t make it deal to control myself to get quality sleep. Are you guys feeling this phase like me? I hope you guys okay, and we can make a deal to get quality sleep at mature age right!
