going to bed != falling asleep
depending on which physician you ask, it can actually be worse to just lie in bed for hours and hours without sleeping.
it's definitely bad to put yourself in a situation where you must go to sleep at X PM and wake up at Y AM, and then you're repeatedly failing to fall asleep so now you rely on things like sleeping pills, or you're perpetually exhausted and underperforming at tasks like classes or work and the stress creates a feedback loop of even worse sleep.
it certainly wasn't good for me when i was younger!
