Any night owls up and about?

[Aristus]

[Skittles]

1. I am always awake all night, every night

[Aristus]

2. And I thought I had bad insomnia...

[mr_lebowski]

4. U know I'm always around friday night man ...

[Aristus]

5. Good to see you...

[Skittles]

8. I actually live my life upside-down

night worker

[Aristus]

9. Oh gotcha...

That's better than insomnia, I guess...

[Skittles]

21. ha...well....

I have that too

lifelong affliction, but I have learned to live with it

[MadLinguist]

3. well, yeah.

What we gonna do? Go to the windows, and shout "I'm mad and I'm not going to take it anymore"?

[Aristus]

7. What's stopping you?

There's never been a better time...

[MadLinguist]

12. I've already done it so often that my neighbors are mad as hell too

[TexasTowelie]

6. I'm up perusing the New England media sites

while listening to an audio drama so I'll be here at least another 40 minutes.

[redwitch]

10. Not exactly a night owl but I am awake.

Hi all you fellow insomniacs!

[Aristus]

11. Hey.

Thought I'd crash after a long busy week.

Yet, here I am. I may give the bed a try in another half hour or so...

Nothing worse than lying there awake...

[redwitch]

14. I fell asleep pretty early.

Was gifted some homemade Alice B. Toklas caramels. Delicious and effective. Going to sleep is easy, staying asleep is the issue.

[LunaSea]

13. I sleep just fine.

But I suspect my circadian clock was assembled on Easter Island.

[KT2000]

16. Me too!

I usually try for 3 AM.

[fierywoman]

15. Yep. Often until 3 or 4.

[Aristus]

17. Even I don't think I have that kind of stamina.

[No Vested Interest]

18. + 1. Turning in soon.....

[KT2000]

19. that's my clock too

I hate making appointments because everyone thinks an AM appointment is the best. Or - we'll be there between 8 and 9! Horrors!

[No Vested Interest]

20. I tell people no calls before noon.

Sometimes the phone rings anyway. I try to ignore it.

[Dem2theMax]

24. You sound like me. Don't call before this time, don't call after that time.

I get really cranky if people wake me before I'm wide awake on my own.

[No Vested Interest]

45. The problem is - awakened from a deep sleep you can't get back to that again before time to be up.

I'm one who needs - absolutely needs- a certain amount of good sleep to carry on the day.
That interruption of solid sleep can't just be turned on and off.
I certainly realize that part of the problem is of my doing by staying up to late, but that is my weakness and not easily changed.

[Dem2theMax]

46. I'm the same. Have to have a certain amount of sleep to be able to function.

And if someone wakes me up before I'm ready, I'm dragging all day long. I turn off all my phones at night, because people did not respect my schedule. It's the only way I can guarantee a decent night's sleep. I haven't had one of those since Trump was 'selected.'

So looking forward to having a Democrat in the White House. I think we'll all get a lot better sleep.

[7wo7rees]

22. Yes. And just want you to know how much you are loved and appreciated.

Always look forward to your ask me anything threads. Especially since you like Vodka......

Never join in, stay low. But yes, sleep is being disrupted in mighty ways. And we are not even on front line.

Still trying to process Gov Abbott today. We live in North Dallas suburb. Live with and take care of 84 yr old mom with memory issues. We just thank God every day we stepped in a couple of years ago to keep her not in a senior place.

Thank you for all you do and everything you are going through. Stay safe, stay well. Mix your vodka with lots of Elderberry syrup.

Valerian works well too. Take care. We fear all hell is coming to Texas.....

[Aristus]

48. Aw, that's sweet!

Thank you...

[Dem2theMax]

23. Yes. But the eyelids are getting droopy.

My bed will win out over TV within the next 20 minutes or so.

[LuvNewcastle]

25. I woke up around 1:30.

Couldn't get back to sleep so I went to the store and bought 3 beers. I'm hoping that will get me drowsy again.

[Sancho]

26. Who can sleep in Florida?

They are going to open the beaches....

[love_katz]

27. Still up.

I should go to bed. I am having groceries delivered early tomorrow, but my night owl tendencies are interfering. Last night there was more noise outside, sounded like more traffic on the streets then there has been in quite a while. Tonight it is just too quiet and I fear that I will disturb the neighborhood if I stay up and try to get anything done. Sigh. I wish I could move way out in the woods, where I could make noise at night if I want to. I always seem to have more energy at night, and I find my day has too many interruptions from other people, even though most of the interruptions are from my electronic devices. Love you,sir. I hope you get some refreshing rest tonight.

[Aristus]

50. Aw. Love you MORE!

[murielm99]

28. Yes.

I try not to do this, but often fail. Good to see others here.

[calimary]

29. Yep. Almost 1am Pacific time.

Can’t sleep. Usually can’t sleep.

[Cetacea]

30. A lot of those "protesters" from Central Casting were wearing masks...

[Aristus]

51. And the rest were ogg-lee!...

[CottonBear]

31. I'm up. I haven't slept well since the 2016 election.

I wake up about 1am and go to sleep again about 4am.

[Angleae]

32. Just us vampires

[Aristus]

52. Did you just get up for a bite?

[edbermac]

33. No. I'm sleep-texting.

[The Magistrate]

34. Of The Worst Sort, Sir

Went to bed early, woke up just now. From a dream that got so stupid that, while still asleep, I had to pull myself up, tell myself this is not really happening, you do not need to pursue this further, and then I came awake. Fucker ought have quit when I broke both his thumbs....

Anyway, odds of getting back to sleep before six are pretty slim --- I tend towards a four hours on, four hours off schedule if there's nothing much happening to discommode it.

[Wawannabe]

40. Nice

[CTyankee]

36. Hi, Aristus. I'm up researching the Harlem Renaissance for my next book.

I'm getting into Ma Rainey.

My book is entitled "The Gladdened Heart: when art and music danced together." The concept, title and writing so far are under copyright.

One of the big problems of this book is that it is SO WHITE. Hence, my research into art movements such as the Harlem Renaissance. And black artists today, such as Faith Ringgold and her NYC subway station art. Fabulous.

Not bad for an old lady. We'll see what comes of this late night muttering...

[3catwoman3]

47. What a delightful title!

[CTyankee]

62. I kinda thought that too which is why I made sure the concept, as stated in the preface and in some

of the essays already developing would be proof of my authorship. It sorta "came to me" as I was thinking about a "thesis" ("here's what I want to do&quot statement. And there is a lot of poetry in music.

[yaesu]

37. yep, 4:30 AM and thinking about going to bed. nt

[chillfactor]

38. i am....

still drinking wine and reading a very good mystery.

[rustysgurl]

39. I'm up ... 3:44 Central Time

Terrible insomnia these last few months.

[betsuni]

41. I've been having a lot of violent nightmares.

Always people or monsters trying to kill me. This morning I woke up too early (probably from bad dreams but I couldn't remember them) and took a nap later in the morning. Drifted off to sleep and jerked awake again and again after being attacked by the same would-be murderer. THANKS, TRUMP!

[yankeepants]

42. I sleep for an hour or two after Jeopardy

and then I am up for most the night. I was never a good sleeper and the 2016 disaster finished any hope of normalcy. Hypervigelance it's called. As soon as I wake up I have to log on and see what the Orange Idiot King and his court have cooked up now.

[pansypoo53219]

43. used to be. now i am an extreme night owl.

i really should be in bed before 8am. trying for 5.

[In_The_Wind]

44. I'm up!

[Aristus]

54. Hey! Good to see you, I-T-W!

Wow, that doughnut sure looks good right now...

[In_The_Wind]

56. I totally missed breakfast and lunch today.

[Aristus]

57. Whew! If I had done that,

it would have taken a hell of a lot more than coffee and a doughnut to make up for it...

[In_The_Wind]

58. I finally wrapped myself around 14 ounces of Haagen-Dazs about 4:20.

[Aristus]

59. 420...

I see what you did there...

[In_The_Wind]

60. That too!

[Aristus]

61. HA!

[LuckyCharms]

53. Here!

I'm usually up at this time, especially these days. Have a good night, Aristus!

[Aristus]

55. Hey! NOW it's a party!

Lucky Charms is here!
