View Full Version : The night owl thread
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 12:55 AM This thread is dedicated to all the SO night owls out there. I know there are alot of us, and I know how dead, and boring it can be around here from the 11:00pm, to 6:00 am hours, so I thought I'd make a thread directed towards those people who are bored, and just want to talk about what they're doing up so late, or why they're having trouble sleeping, or whatever. Whatever's going through your mind in the late night hours, share it here. All of us night owls need a place to talk when we can't sleep, so this thread is dedicated to all of you. Just share whatever is on your mind in those late night hours. :)
Big C 04-11-2009, 12:56 AM I'm a night owl- I almost never fall asleep before midnight.

Lucky you, I almost never fall asleep before 10:00 am. :lol: ;)
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 04-11-2009, 01:05 AM I'm somewht of night owl. Probably won't go to bed until around 2 or 3am, so here I am. I don't know what it is. I think I just screw up my sleeping schedule myself. I don't like to go to bed, and when I'm actually in bed, I don't like to get up lol.
Marvo301 04-11-2009, 01:09 AM I do know why my body clock is messed up! Years of working graveyard shift! (which I no longer do)
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 01:15 AM One of the reasons school was so rough for me as a kid, was because of my sleeping problems. I'd just lie there in the dark all night. I'd finally fall asleep around 5:00 am, only to have to get up two hours later to go to school. That's part of the reason why my school days were so miserable. Imagine having to have to take class for 7 hours a day on two hours of sleep, if that. Having ADD also didn't help matters any, but I think my lack of sleep was my biggest problem.
Wreckless 04-11-2009, 01:19 AM I put the "night" in night owl lol..I love staying up and you'll never catch me waking up 7 or 8 AM like those early birds lol... im the complete opposite and usually pull all-nighters, or I stay up extremely late everynight, even on days I have class the next day...

It's only 11:36 here right now. I'm a West Coaster. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be sleeping anytime soon, as I already took my sleeping meds, and am not even remotely tired.

catlover79 04-11-2009, 03:09 AM I am a night owl, all the way, baby!! :D
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 03:22 AM I think this thread was a good idea. You rarely ever see things this active, this late. Hopefully it will continue, because I know I'm not going to be getting any sleep tonight unfortunately.
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 03:32 AM i'll give you cornrows lol
Let me admire my new French braids for awhile, and then I'll give the cornrows a try. :lol: ;)
PunkyP0WER 04-11-2009, 03:40 AM i want french braids too
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 04:20 AM Well, it's 1:20 am here right now, and I'm actually getting a little tired. Unfortunately, my mind is racing though, and when I can't slow my mind down, I can't sleep. I feel like that Sarah Mclachlan song that says: "I'm so tired, but I can't sleep." That's the story of my life.
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 04:58 AM I think I'm about to hit the sack. It's about 2:00 am here, and I think my mind has slowed down enough for me to possibly get some sleep. I hope so anyway. Well happy late night posting everyone!!
-STEFFY- 04-11-2009, 05:03 AM ^^^ Nighty night!
Brad Russ 04-11-2009, 06:57 AM ^^^ Nighty night!
Thanks Steffy, but unfortunately it didn't work out. :( I just laid there for two hours, unable to fall asleep. Oh well, I'm use to it. I guess I'll just be sleeping my day away tomorrow. Atleast I got my cat Freddie here to keep me company. :)
MickeyMac 04-11-2009, 01:00 PM Night owl too. Especially on weekends if I go out, sometimes I wont go to bed until way after 3AM.
janet42 04-11-2009, 07:42 PM I sleep weird. I usually go to sleep around 11p.m. wake up around 2 a.m. and can't go back to sleep until 3 or 4 a.m.

I hate when I just lay awake in bed...unable to sleep when I'm dead tired. So frustrating!
Freddie is a cute name for a kitty cat! I have a kitty, too! I love him just like a little baby! :)

Yeah, it definitely sucks when you're so freaking tired, but just can't sleep. For me, it's mostly an issue of not being able to shut my mind down. My mind is kind of like the energy bunny, in that it just keeps going, and going.
Thanks for the compliment on my cat. :) Believe it or not, Freddie is a girl. We thought it was a boy when we got her, because it looked like she had, well.... lets just say a certain part of the anatomy that males have. lol!! Anyway, what's you're cats name?
Brad Russ 04-12-2009, 04:22 AM So, anybody but me awake tonight?? I slept all day, so it looks like I'll be pulling another all nighter.

I am still awake, but not really by choice.
Awake for another hour or so.
Brad Russ 04-12-2009, 04:43 AM I am still awake, but not really by choice.
Awake for another hour or so.
Are you working tonight, or just having trouble sleeping?
PZelda 04-12-2009, 10:13 AM I work graveyards... I *have* to be awake at that time. :lol:
I'm on vacation, tho, so I woke up at like 8 today. That's the beauty of it - I can sleep anytime I want to and get up anytime I want to. It was really hard for me to get used to working graveyards the first six months I was doing that.

That's funny! I used to have a cat named Albert that was actually a girl. When I first got her, they told me she was a boy. It wasn't until I went to get the cat "fixed" that I learned it was really female. LOL! Well, that was many years ago. Now, I have a cat named Ruben. He really is a boy! :) My little angel!
catlover79 04-12-2009, 10:17 PM This should be OUR theme song! Performed by Carly Simon, it was written by her then-husband James Taylor:
Night Owl
Now a fish kinda likes the water
And that's just where he wants to be
And a monkey kinda digs bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree
But my eyes are made for darkness
So the nightime is right for me
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
Most folks they like the daytime
'Cause they like to see the shining sun
They're up in the mornin'
Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun
But when the sun goes down
And the bright lights shine
My daytime has just begun
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long
Won't you turn out them bright lights baby
They're just about to drive me blind
Oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa
Watch and you'll see my love light shine
Now there are two sides to this great big world
And one of them is always night
If you can take care of business in the sunshine baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand
My eyes just can't stand the light
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long
Wreckless 04-12-2009, 10:21 PM Brad, you might be up just as late as I am lol....im always up til like 3 in the morning, at an average.....a lot of times longer, some days less but usually around that time

Yeah, I noticed that you're usually up pretty late. I actually hate being a night owl. I've been on just about every sleeping med ever made, and it just doesn't work on me. I sleep fine in the daytime, it's just the nightime when I can't seem to sleep. Just too much going on in my mind I guess.

I'm sorta the same way... I can't go to bed before 3:00am either usually! Even if I've been at school all day and am exhausted, I somehow get this burst of energy and am able to stay awake 20+ hours at a time. But then at noon the next day, I cannot seem to drag myself out of bed:D ... and two days a week I have a class at 8:00am.... yeah, not fun!:eek:
