Did you ever go to bed angry? Maybe you went to bed with an argument unsettled and sleep did not come. The Bible tells us together rid of our anger before the sun goes down. I also think we should settle all disagreements before retiring for the night.
Why do we have arguments or disagreements? Is it because we each want our way? Is it because we think our opinion is the best? Is it because we fail to openly look at the other point of view? There are so many factors to think about. Why is my opinion or idea better? Have I considered the way the other person feels? Why is the other persons idea better? Is it a personal, that I just want to win?
Try to consider all available options, before disagreeing point blank. Let your mind think about the other ideas. Maybe there is some validity in their idea. Come to a conclusion that you can both agree with and go to bed without anger or disagreement . By having your disagreement settled you can sleep peacefully.
Hmmm. I would guess, from the time of your post, that rather than settle your argument, you decided to stay up all night. Arguments seem so important at the time, but later, we rarely remember what they were about. Hope all is well.
