Alright, I have noticed that this place essential becomes deserted after 2200 (10PM) EST. This is, of course, perfectly understandable. After all, most of this forum's users hail from an area where that is night and most people tend to sleep at night.

My question, and the reason for this discussion is this: who among you is a night owl, and why?

I hardly ever sleep at night due to all the Red Bull and suger. XD

*GuruGuru214* · 05/27/2011, 12:07 am

I am. Best reason I can figure is because I'm a moron.

Comrade Pants · 05/27/2011, 12:10 am

See, I'm just a caffeine enthusiast. Coolsome? You're on the right track. Guru, far be it from me to call you a moron, but you were against reassigning "That" thread. (Don't dare correct me. I'm trying to hold you in high regard, Odo.) In my book, that makes you alright.

dumpling321 · 05/27/2011, 01:15 am

personally, My mother is always on my back to get her things, help with the housework, work in the yard, etc. now don't get me wrong, I do pretty much everything she asks without (much) complaint, but I like to stay up late at night because I have time for myself, time to watch tv, time to persue my own interests, etc. xDD

skeeter · 05/27/2011, 01:49 am

I'm usually in bed by 10.30ish, if not asleep then reading or playing DS. I used to stay up late often, I prefer that to being up early (not a morning person) but if I stay up late I don't get enough sleep and get too tired at work. But 10pm your time is about 1pm in the arvo for me, and I'll be working then. Seems fairly deserted then as well...

Friar · 05/27/2011, 02:10 am

I usually go to bed around midnight( 4pm PST), although sometimes i'm up till 1 AM.

corruptbiggins · 05/27/2011, 03:06 am

I'm regularly still up past midnight here (whatever time that is over there) and more often than not past 2/3am as well. Main reason being that I just go to bed when I'm tired, get up the next day (well, same day usually), wash, rinse & repeat. It helps that I don't have a job and therefore I have no set time I need to be up by generally. If I did I'd probably wouldn't stay up as late as I do.

JedExodus · 05/27/2011, 03:24 am

The time I go to bed is dictated by whatever time i'm starting work the next day. Don't start til 2pm today so I was up til half three last night sorting out bits and bobs and browinsg the net, other nights i'll be in bed by half eleven

*Icedhope* · 05/27/2011, 03:25 am

The truth is Im on here late because thats..when I have time to myself and the such.

Hayden · 05/27/2011, 03:31 am

I'm usually in bed by between 12 and 2 o'clock, simply because I like the night time... and the internet is usually far too interesting for me to tear myself away from it any earlier than that. Sleep just doesn't compare to the web, most of the time.

Alcoremortis · 05/27/2011, 08:05 am

I am but only when there is something happening online, in which case I have been known to stay up (sometimes) until four or five in the morning. Usually, it's only until two or three, though.

If there's not anything interesting happening, I get bored and go to bed early. Or read a book.

DAISHI · 05/27/2011, 08:29 am

I'm usually up until 3 AM CST. Because I work out late and then unwind here.

SillyStell · 05/27/2011, 09:46 am

Like most the night time is my time. That's not to say I don't get any privacy during the day. The only people here is me, my mum and my dog. But I find that during the night I can look at all the funny stuff, like YTP's and stupid garrys mod videos. Mainly because during the day I feel like my mum will pass by and be like "the hell are you watchings...". Also at times I find the night a great time to draw. No distractions, just me and what ever medium I'm working with. Playing games is also a lot easier at night, speacially games like TF2. A lot of the times mum will talk to me and I'll miss what she's saying as I'm distracted by pushing carts and capturing points. So if I game at night I'll be less ignorant in the day.

Jenny · 05/27/2011, 11:42 am

I have always been a night owl as far back as I can remember. There's just something serene about that 12 a.m. - 3 a.m. time block. Everything is quiet and still. It's my time to relax. I don't always appreciate staying up that late, when I have to get up early in the morning the next day, but I can very rarely force myself to bed any earlier than 1 a.m. I think it also has to do with not wanting the day to end. Somehow trying to squish in as much time as possible, as irrational as that is.

coolsome · 05/27/2011, 12:13 pm

Il sleep when Im dead..or later tonight.

Secret Fawful · 05/27/2011, 12:46 pm

I prefer the daylight, yet there's not enough time in the day for everything I want to do.

*Irishmile* · 05/27/2011, 12:58 pm

I'm on here late on occasion when there are active conversations on the boards.

Falanca · 05/27/2011, 02:40 pm

I usually go to sleep at like between 5 am to 8 am, but my timezone is GMT+2 so I assume I wake up at probably the same time with NORMAL people living in the US, with NORMALLY organized daily routines.

EDIT: If my calculations are correct, my sleeping routine, for US timezone, can be put in kindergarten category. So uh, am I still eligible for answering OP's question?

Tough call. Ask me again when I'm sober.
