I'm wondering if this is a combination of inertia (keep doing what you are currently doing) and inability to grasp delayed gratification -- that is, the project is here now in front of me, the good sleep is more ephemeral, because it isn't like I will fall asleep as soon as I want to.

I often think it's inertia that takes over. Whatever it is I am doing, it is easier to keep doing it than to get up and do something else. Whether I am doing something I should do or not doesn't seem to matter.

Sometimes I think it's better when I am NOT doing a project, because if it's a timewaster like channel-surfing or playing a mindless game, I'm not going to ruin something from being too tired, like I would if I was working on needlework or beading or calligraphy or something like that. And I've sometimes nodded off right in the middle of something and messed it up completely.

Sometimes I think humans would probably never move if we didn't have physical needs like hunger, thirst or the need to eliminate!
