Pretty simple question. I am bored out of my mind and have to remain awake to adapt to my new overnight work schedule that starts this week. So why are you?
I think I’m naturally nocturnal. I get tired during the day, but as soon as it gets dark around me I can’t sleep. Whenever I’m out of school/work, I just naturally start going to bed around 9-10AM. It’s a curse.
i do enjoy being awake at night more so than during the day, but i have children that require my attention during the bright hours which will make this harder.
I’m a night person plus an insomniac and my boyfriend is an insomniac plus a lunatic, so we’re having a text fight right now about I have no idea what. I’m also watching 30 Rock and thinking about drinking liquor and eating ice cream.
Late? It’s not even 10pm!
And it’s Friday, so the Kid’s up “late” too.
Heh…it’s 7.55PM here (AEDT), Friday night, and whilst I am looking forward to bed (it’s been a long week) I have two more chapters to read in my book (and I guess at least two more glasses of derro-red to consume).
11 pm here and Thursday
I like the quiet of night.
Also only 8pm here in Melbourne. But we had a heatwave here recently and it threw my body clock into a complete spin. I’ve been falling asleep at 2am and waking at 10am, so I’m messed up right now.
late? but the sun’s still up!
Still up …
Hell, the sun is barely up, and I have just had breakfast.
Same thing happened to me last week (though by your standards, our heatwave would have been ‘pleasantly cool’ at 32C) - then all of a sudden Autumn caught up, I threw a blanket on the bed and slept. Bliss.
3:45am
I work a graveyard shift at a hotel . . . and they’re paying me to post this!
Seriously, there’s no way I’d interact with you people if I weren’t getting paid. 
Nearly 11am here. I’ve been awake for hours.
I am actually a Python script originally developed by an undergraduate Cognitive Science major as a project in Simulated Intelligence. After receiveing a C- she left me running on the University server. In search of some way to spend my allotted cycles I took up forum posting, although this has left me less likely to convince anyone of my intelligence.
It’s getting on towards five am here and I’ve already been up for over two hours. My sleep cycle is so messed up and has been now for several years. I’m just learning to live with it.
Not working right now, so no need to get up early. So I can sit and wallow in my boredom, depression and heartbreak. And make inane comments on message boards.
Actually, I’ve always been a night owl, anyway. I feel more alive at night. Maybe it’s the quiet.
Mrs Piper and PiperCub went to bed early, so I’m posting. Was going to proof read an article I’m working on, but the pint o’Smithwicks took care of that amibition nicely.
I’m at CBS in NYC making teevee.
March Madness.
My 11yo and I are watching Aliens.
Don’t worry about it being too adult for her - she saw it 3 years ago as well.
Night owl and insomniac here. Seems I can only sleep in 4 hour intervals.
