    You see, if you stay up until 3-4am you get to take part in this secret extra “day” without demands or interruptions that no one else knows about; which everyone just sleeps through 'cause they’re dumb and myopic.

    The rumors that the alarm will go off at the regular time and there are negative consequences of sleeping for less than 4 hours are entirely unfounded and, frankly, hurtful

      bonus points if you somewhere where you can go for a walk at night, 4am is the perfect hour when even the pubs have closed and nobody’s awake yet

    Instead let’s stay here till 2:30a playing dumb video game, become sleep deprived, and hate my entire existence in the morning even more than I already did

      That’s a problem for tomorrow’s me! Me right now wants to cling to whatever little free time he gets.

    Being awake at night is a very nice time of peace. No responsibilities, noone wants something from you, you can just be in the crushing silence of your own thoughts

    Having three kids, I get this sometimes. After bedtime is usually the first real chance I have to be alone in the day, so I don’t get any “Me” time until like 9 or 10 at night, and by that point I’m so exhausted, but maybe there’s something I’ve been wanting to get to all day I just don’t want to sleep. Other times I’m so wiped out I just let sleep take over, then do the whole thing all over again the next day.

      I feel this, but it’s only one kid for me. Three must be insane. Most days I look forward to something intended to occupy that free time, but like you I’m always wiped or experiencing a headache by 8pm or later. So I’ve gotten back into reading. Low energy, comfy, can do it on bed. Except now I open the book and am nodding off between sentences. Falling asleep easier than ever, but doomed nonetheless.

        This is me, but I don’t have any kids. I’m just tired and one thing I’ve been wanting to do will gain priority over the other: e.g. play a game/do something productive around the house etc., OR try to sleep. More often than not I decide to use the time trying to sleep which translates into watching a few hours of IASIP in bed. I believe that’s Michael Scott’s win win win scenario, right??

    When sleep changes from an escape from depression to just a timeskip to more of it

        What fuels your sleeplessness? Even when I feel super tired it’s still a long combined process of constant tossing and turning and not being able to shut my brain up

    I better not play games else I won’t get to bed until 4am. I’ll watch YouTube/tiktok instead because it has lots of stopping points and I can pause it.

    Not me watching YouTube/tiktok videos until 4am

      You obviously don’t have kids ! 😁 They are easily awake at 7 am but the time from 10 pm (thats when I am usually done with cleaning up for the day) to 2 am is mine. 🙃

        Yup. My day starts at like 10pm because it’s spent taking care of everyone else’s needs first.

        Yup you’re correct. I don’t have any children, I do have loud siblings but they won’t come to me and disturb me lol

        I do like to stay up but I end up “resting my eyes” and falling asleep with my phone not on charge hahaha
