I will be the first one to tell you that when I am tired, I put off going to bed *because* I am so tired, and therefore know how tired I'm going to be when I get up early in the morning... Of course the mentality is that the longer you try to stay awake, the more you are "avoiding" the inevitable. In reality, that's not what happens at all - you just make yourself more tired than you already were and exacerbate the situation...
So here I am. Squinting at the screen. Listening to a CD. With all the lights on. Trying to stay awake. When I should be in bed. Asleep. Where I should have been two hours ago. And could have been. But of course I put it off.
*sigh*
Why on earth does the verse about a double-minded man come to mind...? Looking in the mirror, forgetting what you look like, unstable in all your ways... I get the feeling that my ridiculous attempt at "avoidance" of tiredness, despite my knowledge of my personality and previous circumstances is way up there for being double-minded...
But of course who is wise and does the things they should when they're tired?
Excuses, excuses... maybe I should just go to bed!

We'll be sharing a gaol cell over this charge! I do exactly the same ... Night after night of it when I know that I am only barely functioning. My constant lament is that there are not enough hours in the day for doing the things that I want to do.
