Night person

[The Serpent Merchant]

Am I the only one who stays up all night but then I wake up at 7, or 8 later in the morning? I usually like to sleep til 5 if I stay up any later than 6AM. Why do I wake up early if I go to bed very, very, late.

Well my sleep pattern is forced lol so it probably shouldn't count but regardless on when I go to bed I get up at 7:00 (so I can either be in class or at work by 8:00 (depends on the day which) but I wake up on my own (most of the time) before my alarm clock goes off.

Considering it's 4:51 A.M. Where I live right now I can already tell that today is going to suck.

I don't sleep at all anymore loo...
I work 10pm To 7am, pass out anywhere from 8am to 2pm and then wake up 2 to 3 hours after I go to sleep

I did third shift a little over a year ago for about 9 months 11PM-7:30AM. Now I am on day shift 7:00AM-3:30PM. For the longest time I after divorce I considered myself a night person staying up until 2-3AM and sleeping 3-4 hours before waking up for work. Now it's Saturday morning a chance to sleep in and awake at 4:30AM. My fiancee is a night person and unemployeed so it makes it difficult on weekends. I am now awake and ready to start the day and she won't be up until 11AM or so.

Let's see... 2:10am and not even beginning to think of sleep... yep, I'm a night owl all right!

This has actually been a long-time problem in my life, but not so much a problem for ME - it's a problem for the rest of the world, who can't seem to accommodate my preferences. LOL. Due to my nocturnal tendencies I've adapted to living on little sleep, since I do have to work occasional mornings. Luckily my job has later hours than most, but I really don't need more than 4 hours to function... of course on my days off, I'm thrilled to get 7+.

P.S. When left to control my own schedule (when I wasn't working, going to school, etc), my preferred sleeping hours are around 7am-3pm. Some people call themselves a night owl for going to bed after midnight, but it doesn't count unless the sun is FULLY up when you go to sleep!

What is your bedroom like (noise, light, heat, etc), and do you use a sleeping mask? I have no trouble sleeping well into the afternoon, since my room is fairly dark & quiet, and I always wear a mask... sometimes my 4-legged animals will wake me, but for the most part they've learned not to bother mom in her sleep. Funny, I learned the same about MY mother growing up - we called her "the bear" if woken before like 11am! And I wonder where my bad habits come from?

Btw, didn't my first question sound like a snake/husbandry-related question? Haha.

Welp, now I'm wide awake, I just let out all my emotions to a friend, cue the breakdown. :I

Ah, my room is just a tv on volume around 35 or 40, it's fairly cool but not under the blanket, the only light is my tv. No i don't wear a mask.

I always go to sleep with the TV on (usually playing an old movie), but set the sleep timer so it turns off after 2 hours... maybe try that? I also find the sleep mask helps a lot, even if your room is already pretty dark. They look ridiculous, but hey - whatever works.

I think that may be the lowest thing I've seen people do for a website.

*highest

I work for a contractor on a military base, so we don't have any play time, and we are supposed to leave our phones in our lockers, but occasionally I'll find a few minutes to scam out by faking a deuce drop in order post a few replies. Seriously, what is wrong with me?

Youre my hero sir. I will respect all of your posts during work hours at least 20% more.


I would like to add to people whom are amazed by Aaron, he is by far one the smartest people my age that I know lol. He isnt a "typical" college student by any means.

Are you sure you aren't dropping and posting at the same time? lol!! This is the funniest thing I've read all morning.

As far as night person, not me. I am up very early for work, and more than ready for bed by 8/9:00.
