Cheria · 21st Jun 2009, 03:25 AM

We should talk more. We're in the same timezone, too. I went to bed 2 hours ago and here I am, back on EC.

Lumi Nie · 21st Jun 2009, 03:29 AM

I'm a nocturnal creature too. I usualy stay up quite late. Well, if I have something to do. Like, an interesting show to se or a lot of inspiration to write something or I just can't put some very interesting book away.

Just Adam · 21st Jun 2009, 03:29 AM

507bro · 21st Jun 2009, 03:53 AM

Indeed we are.

Especially during summer vacation, but also over spring and winter breaks, my sleep schedule is all over the place. I do still get about the same amount of sleep as usual, but it's usually from around 9 AM to 4 PM. Sometimes I go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier, but I do really enjoy being up at night. Kinda boring because almost no one else is on EC or any other part of the Internet, except perhaps...you know...but I've got plenty of other things to do.

Lol, that's better than me. I usually fall by 7. XD But it's 6 now and I'm still WIIIIIDE awake so I might end up not getting any sleep.

Apocalypte · 21st Jun 2009, 05:27 AM

I'm very nocturnal too, didn't get asleep until 5am today. Need to try and break out of that, because when bedtime for me starts going past 3am I start becoming really lazy during the day too.

Mickey · 21st Jun 2009, 09:28 AM

I very rarely go to sleep before 4 am. I'm either on the computer or watching reruns on t.v. The last job I had was 11p.m. to 7 a.m. and it's real easy to get back into those hours.
I kinda like being awake when everybody is asleep. The only problem I have is my dog is awake,too and she thinks going outside at 2 a.m. is lots of fun!

**Rosina** · 21st Jun 2009, 09:34 AM

Yeah, little nocturnal creature here too. It's all scientific reason; teen's body clocks adjust to being up late, forgot the reason though XD

I've stayed up late until four/five (okay, late for me

) but most nights, like school nights, it's one.

djt820 · 21st Jun 2009, 12:44 PM

Ive been staying up til around 2 or 3am lately. Perhaps even later, talking with people on EC, but I need more people to talk to.

I'll see if I can make it tonight.

21st Jun 2009, 12:55 PM

I prefer being up at night as well. I've been like that even as a kid.

ArcaneVerse · 21st Jun 2009, 12:58 PM

I have really messed up sleeping patterns, they constantly change and are the oddest hours. At the moment im getting up at 4pm and going to bed at 7am, but ive woken up and gone to bed at every hour on a clock more then once. odd fact getting up at 4am, for me, is the worst time there is. Longest Ive ever stayed up is almost 3 days straight, i drank way too much coke that "day" and i was peeing like every half hour =X.

Anyways its safe to say your not the only one, but i wouldn't call it completely normal =P

Bookmarked · 21st Jun 2009, 04:08 PM

I write, mostly. Talk to the more night-owl-y people I have hanging around online, and pretend to drink tea. Mostly because I've long drank the cup I made for myself, but keep forgetting and raising it to my lips unconsciously. I can't much be bothered to get a new cup.

The writing gets interesting, since I tend to sit in my bed with three or four pieces of paper, scrawling a little something down on each one. It looks bizzare, I'm told.

D_Alejandro · 21st Jun 2009, 04:11 PM

I stay up and watch the Ren & Stimpy show on MT2 until 3am, watch movies, eat food (I can't get fat!) and browse around the internet.

Cool Beans · 21st Jun 2009, 07:12 PM

Back in the day (by which I mean, like, 1999) I used to try to pull all-nighters sometimes in the summer. This was before we had satellite TV in our house (or at least, in my bedroom), so I'd watch Leno, Conan, Carson, and then the early-morning newscasts (on CBS, I believe). Then I'd fall asleep when the Today Show came on at 7 (I think it was only two or three hours long at the time).

These days I'm rarely ever up past 1 unless I'm with friends.

Apologies for possible over-use of parentheses. It's a bad habit.

Kryz · 21st Jun 2009, 08:05 PM

I have no sleep at all like... 4 days every semester. It's not insomnia but homework... and the day after I always have to make the delivery at school so they are horrible days.

Usually I stay up till 3 when I don't have to wake up early.

**Maddy** · 21st Jun 2009, 09:44 PM

I'm not even close to nocturnal, but if I do stay up really late, I'll usually play Sims 2 or scour through back entries on some of my favourite LJ communities.

Shevanel · 21st Jun 2009, 09:47 PM

Sometimes I get like half voluntary half not insomnia. Its really weird. But I often stay up till 4am a lot =/ sometimes past that. during this past year at Uni it was much worse. I did many 72 hour days...
