Are insomniacs overthinking sleep?

You'll likely spend about 26 years of your life sleeping. You’ll use up another seven years just falling asleep, and for many insomniacs, that doesn’t include all the doomscrolling, clock-watching, and listening to purposely boring podcasts in the small hours of the night. People tended to sleep right through the night, while the length of sleep varied depending on the season, with nearly an hour’s extra slumber during winter.
