Poll question: Why Do YOU Stay Up So Late?
Edited on Sat Nov-08-03 01:26 AM by Magic Rat
For the people who usually post in the a.m. hours I'm curious. Why are you up so late. I'm usually in bed by this time but I just got back from Atlantic City and I'm overtired.

What about you?

on edit - I just noticed I originally wrote "Why Do Stay Up So Late?"

which, sounds like Homer Simpson after too many Duff beers.

:D

1. I'm a vampire...
I sleep during the day and drink blood by night. ;)

2. My sinuses are draining
slimy green-yellow ooze; and I want to make sure it doesn't get into my lungs.

12. I sleep
from 5 to 9.

Occasionally I'll sleep in till 10.

Sleeping is rebooting, but it also takes up a lot of time.

5. My Diurnal clock is set fast.
Mornings are hell. I never schedule anything before 10 if I can help it.

Nice thing about being freelance, that.

Hope Atlantic City was a good trip for you.

8. It's my time of peace.
I like to wait until my husband and baby are sleep for my personal downtime. Being a parent is great but you do need some time for yourself.

13. 'Cause I just got back from the LA DU gettogether
Woo hoo... too out of it to post right now.

Suffice to say, the photos of NSMA and BeHereNow graphically illustrating the relationship between Wesley Clark and some guy whose name I can't remember in my Margarita-and-sangria-addled haze. Well, I'll be getting the film developed tomorrow.

Oh, what the frick, I'll just post my own thread. Won't be the first drunken rambling in the Lounge, and it sure as hell won't be the last!

14. Because the entirety of the universe does not revolve
around the east coast. :eyes:

It's not even 11:00 p.m. here yet. I will be going to bed shortly. I work weekends and my job necessitates my getting up at 4:00 a.m.

Sure, I'm up in the morning, but I have to do important things like eat or go to class.

18. Sleep cycle disturbance.
I've been getting to bed before 2am more often lately, but sometimes I'll still be awake until 5am or later. I take sleep meds, BTW.

20. Chronic, lifetime night-owl. I love the wee hours...
The rest of the surrounding world is abed (or at least quiet), and it's as if there's more energy to draw upon.

I can finally think my thoughts, write my words, do for myself.

I've been this way as long as I can remember, and it's tough to conform to a daytime world, but I've made it so far.

:toast:

25. Okay, it's the a.m. where I am NOW
but I have been known to post before going to work in the morning, which'd be 2am on the US East Coast.
