How do individuals typically respond to using drugs before bed?

Individuals often deny drug use before bed due to various factors, including societal stigma, personal guilt, or lack of awareness about their habits. This denial can stem from a desire to comply with societal norms or a belief that their use does not affect them negatively. Many may also believe that using drugs to help them sleep is not problematic, leading to an underreporting of such behaviors. This behavior is often related to cognitive dissonance, where they reconcile their drug use with their self-image, leading them to negate or downplay their habits, especially when questioned about them.
