Hey, all you night owls!

I work nights, hopefully not for much longer. I've been at it for around 2 years.

Only time I really get to be with my boyfriend or really be social. I have school most of the day, nathan has work most of the day. The rest of our breaks are filled with cooking meals, taking care of the animals, working out, doing homework, dealing with whatever crisis is happening(there is always something, isn't there?)and doing regular daily chores/cleaning and house maintenance. You know the feeling of a friday afternoon right after school ends? That's how I feel--by the time it reaches 11 at night. The day is finally over, I can relax.. Hear from friends before they head to bed, talk to my boyfriend, watch a tv show..relax... It's the only time when nothing is being demanded of us and we can just have a moment alone. I spend time with Nathan, check the forums, respond to emails, post homework online before class, and just chill out. Sometimes I end up staying up too late and I'm tired in the morning, but most of the time i'm pretty good about still giving myself enough time to rest and be prepared for the next day.

Even if I wasn't doing anything at night, all the stress from the day means I'd likely end up staying awake in bed just as long. Takes a while to unwind from a stressful day. I actually got so stressed out last year I had to consult with therapists and go through relaxation/meditation/self hypnosis/whatever you want to call it training in order to allow myself to allow myself to sleep. Was getting close to two weeks without sleep there! :O

I have no idea why I stay up so late. I have the will power to go to bed early but I don't so I'm up til 4 or later

I can understand the staying up late for work. Before my job here, I worked the night shift on my deployment over in Afghanistan. Other than that I would stay up playing games anyways, so I'm almost doomed to being a night owl.

Now if only I knew more local people that were up at night.

Good to know that there is a decent amount of us to keep the forums busy at night.



No rest for the wicked, right?

on the weekends or the night before my football games is when i stay up at night but most of the time i have to go to bed early because of football practise in the morning

Lately, I'm not a night person, just wanted to be nosy and see why all of you stay up so late ;)
I USUALLY go to bed around 11-12 since I work in the morning, Thursday I was up late because I had to work for the World Series. Anytime I stay up late, it's usually just watching tv.

i sleep an average of 1-4 hours a night so im always online wither its bp.net,facebook etc.

I slept 8! How do you function? I managed without coffee this morning because it is a day off from work, but 3 hours of sleep and I would like a zombie...and not a nice one.
