Why Do Narcissists fall Asleep so Easily after a Fight?

Here is the link to all my best resources:

[iusedyourtowel]

"For the wicked cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are deprived of sleep unless they make someone stumble and fall." Proverbs 4:16

[dsmusicbird]

You can be crying, balling, devastated, frustrated as all hell, and they can curl up and sleep right next to you, while you lose sleep and sanity.

[Ellie-rpbh]

36 years of that torture! I’m out and no contact for 6 years! Sweet Freedom!

[blackwaldorf]

Also amazing how they sleep for hours to punish you. Amazing how they have amazing sleep patterns and always up for a nap. While us are there without sleep for years...

[smustipher]

They are able to fall asleep because their mission for the day - to ruin yours- is accomplished.

It's gross how he sleeps so well after destroying me yet again

I'd wish I'd seen this 20 years ago when NOBODY was talking about it. I had no idea that this was a pattern of behavior & was completely baffled. I remember lying awake crying while he slept snoring away beside me many times, confused how he could say he loved me but didn't care how upset I was or accuse me of crying to manipulate him when he'd said such awful, upsetting things to me.
It still happens, usually when I'm leaving or he's leaving, he starts a fight. Not quite the same thing but very similar. The other night after an angry tirade about a petty issue he had with me, I just watched as it snowballed & his anger built up & he brought up other things he doesn't like about me & calling me lazy & stupid, etc. Then I realized that I serve as his emotional trash can. Knowing this helps me not to allow his anger to consume me. One thing that really stands out to me that you said was, the purpose of a so called "fight" is NOT to resolve issues. I need to remember that. I thought about later & it came to me that he could have just asked me to do something differently. He had never mentioned this particular thing as being a problem for him before. I really didn't know.
Now I see why he didn't. It wasn't about that at all.

Thankfully I WAS writing in my journal all throughout the relationship. I have so many descriptions of him falling asleep next to me completely insensitive to my torment, after his tantrums. I was keeping these notes before knowing about narcissism. Those notes, along with online education videos like this one, literally saved my life.

So many nights spent like that; "staring into the abyss hoping to fall asleep".

Also they deny they are sleeping, even when you hear them snoring.

Thank you Danish for your explanation. This question bothered me for nearly forty years. I was trapped in a very toxic and totally dysfunctional marriage for twenty years. However, I regained my freedom twenty years ago from the cluches of my demonic ex husband. I have extensively read on narcissism but nowhere did I get the answer to the question how on earth could this evil man fall asleep soon after a nasty fight initiated by him. It did not happen once or twice: it happened umpteen times. I suffered hundreds of sleepless nights in those twenty years. Now I got the answer. Thank you once again.

My ex Narc was like that, fall asleep at the drop of a hat, you could be having a conversation then you notice they have fallen asleep, it's ironic really, you are not allowed disturb them when they fall asleep at the drop of a hat, but they have no problem disturbing your sleep whenever they feel like it, it's unreal their attitude.😈

Oh, my goodness, that is spot on. My narcissist does that and I finally clued in. I never could understand why. Why does he not care he has upset me, insulted me, hurt me, disgusted me and then after a stupid and pointless argument, he's asleep within seconds. Sometimes even as I am standing there defending myself, his eyes are drooping in sleep. What a shitty way to act towards someone. You have that spot-on right!! Thanks for another great video.

You are very correct. It is almost like sucking your energy gives them a good sleep. However, if you ignore them. They dont sleep well

[heatherlynn]

Listening to this helps us to see why going no contact is the perfect “Revenge”. Just do nothing! Be a 👻 Just getting off their energy field STOPS 🛑 it! Picture them sitting in their baby poopy diapers! 💩 Detox the spew and never return to the vomit! 🤮

[fluffypiranha]

I thought this was just a horrible trait of my ex. She was diagnosed NPD. “Wondering what the hell just happened.” Exactly!
I watch lots of channels about NPD and this is my favorite.

[tobascoheat]

This is SPOT ON!!! That S.O.B. loved nothing better than starting something right before bed. He'd go get in bed and fall right to sleep and SNORE (NO put on), while I was still so upset I could feel my heart and guts shaking! I was on prescription anxiety medication and prescription sleep medication and I always needed it, just to fall asleep!! I used to wonder how he could do that. Now I know. Thank you, Danish! God bless you! ♥️👍

Definitely experienced this. My crazy wife can RAGE like a lunatic and turn over and go right to sleep in less than 5 minutes.

[Miu_Nisht]

They see themselves as the victors of the battle, the winners of the jackpot at your expense, so they sleep peacefully like a baby after all they've had their fill, they swallowed you whole, body, mind and soul, like pythons they can sleep after a huge meal

[heyoldman]

me too . after a ugly, intense fight, she sleeps like a baby and i was left decompressing for a couple of hours . pounding heart ect. so glad i know now what i was dealing with . you younger folks, listen to this man . he knows his stuff and can save you years of pain . i so wish i had this information 40 years ago ….Oh Life 🤷🏼‍♂️
