Does anyone else have this before sleep and after sleep period like me?

As time passes at night I think it is soon time to go to sleep, so I typically avoid talking if someone is over at my place and if I am on the computer it is only on solitaire which sometimes helps to make my brain tired. Then computer off and glasses off and finish watching stupid TV now getting sleepy so go to bed. Now if during that time period anyone starts talking to me or the phone rings, the whole ritual has to be done over again...sure I could try to go to bed, but inevitably have to get up and go through the stupid "getting sleepy" process all over again.

I am a mess when I wake up in the morning...if nobody talks to me and I sit around doing stupid stuff I can wake up and be in a normal mood. But if someone starts yapping at me or there is some other interrupting noises when I am trying to wake up I get grumpy and have a bad start to the day.

I hate both of these phases, and people make fun of me for it but I truly think it is just a phase of my insomnia. I think these are bad habits but are now inherent and necessary.
