Do I go out just to avoid sleeping?

I have found myself lately going out a lot more than I used to...at first I think this was from coming off the medicine and finally actually being awake at night and wanting to do stuff. But steadily I'm finding myself going out when I'm really not in the mood because I feel that it's better than the alternative which is sleeping with which comes dreaming. I can only distract myself for so long though, eventually I will need to sleep. That, sadly, is inevitable every night.
