It's 5:30 AM on Saturday, why are you awake?

[Lasher]

I have a sleeping disorder. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep until around daylight or so.

What's your excuse?

[Chovexani]

1. It's only 2:30 where I'm at

Too much sugar and caffeine and I'm jittery.

[Lasher]

3. Some of the late night crowd is from other countries

So I guess they are 'late' only from my perspective.

[LaurenG]

2. I wake up early

and I woke up worrying about some things that nothing can be done about. My subconscious mind can't even handle it lately.

[Lasher]

6. I do that sometimes

It helps if I occupy my mind with something else. Like football.

[ruiner4u]

4. its the start of my weekend... ive been drinking

and i got a little somethin-somethim a while ago..

[Lasher]

9. Party hardy!

Bet you'll end up crashing later for a looooong time!

[TZ]

5. One word:cats

They get me up almost the same time everyday with the same message---FEED US!

[Lasher]

8. My 2 guys are outside

I'll be able to get some shuteye later unless they figure out how to work the doorbell.

[TZ]

11. I wouldn't put anything past cats...

my guys know how to open and shut doors (unless they are firmly shut or locked) AND since they are not outdoor kitties I don't have that option--as for locking them out of my bedroom--don't really fancy the scratch scractch MEOW! slam! slam! MEOW! scratch! slam! slam! scratch! MEOW! that happens with a shut door....:rofl:

[Lasher]

16. Yep, my guys know how to work the doors too.

As long as it's not closed all the way so they don't have to turn the doorknob. Puppy is the smartest one and I'll bet she could do that too if she had thumbs. I think it's funny to lay in bed and watch the door seemingly open all by its self. :D

7. It's 2:43

I'm hungry, but I'm too lazy to make anything.

So I'm watching television on the internet.

[Lasher]

10. What channels do you get?

I know about the C-SPAN website where you can watch, but are there others you can view without a tuner card?

[philosophie_en_rose]

27. I was watching NBC and ABC.

Catching up on Pushing Daisies and 30 Rock.

[SteppingRazor]

12. The goddamn, motherfucking stray cat that my fiancee insisted on taking in...

insists on attacking chairs and plastic bags at around 5 a.m. or so. I've been up since then, and it's hardly the first time. I swear I'm ready to feed this thing into a wood chipper. ... OK, maybe not, but, does anyone want a cat?

[In_The_Wind]

13. I can't sleep.

:shrug:

[D-U-D-E]

14. sitting in an airport terminal

I wouldn't call it up. Just not asleep.

[DarkTirade]

15. I work the night shift.

I just got home from work a couple hours ago.

[Guava Jelly]

17. Because i always get up early

And i am in a hotel in PA..I never sleep well out of town

[malta blue]

21. Hi!

I was wondering where you were. I asked the other day, and SPK said Penn.

:hi: :hug:

[Guava Jelly]

23. hey back

:)
I am in Scranton PA for a 'The Office' tv show convention. And having a blast.
I will have tons of pictures when i get back home.
Thank you for asking

[radfringe]

18. Fibromyalgia flare-up and a puppy needing to do her doody

although both did let me sleep in until close to 6am this morning...

[Orsino]

19. First major dog walkies at new house...

...wherein I walk 'em all so that my wife can get back to the old place early to supervise movers. I'm heading on to work, and am leaving extra-early on a Saturday because the commute is now a few miles longer.

We're running on about two hours sleep.

[lost-in-nj]

20. I've been up

since 4....
been getting up that time lately... today they rain was so hard it woke me
I DO not get out of bed though.... refuse to, I will stay in it until my alarm goes off...


lost

[Lasher]

24. See, that sounds like what I'm doing

It didn't start happening until I got to be about 50. Lately I've been waking at about 2:30 AM. Then I go back to sleep around daylight. My dad did the same thing so I think it must be hereditary.

I was taking Ambien every night and that did the trick. But a couple of years ago I stopped taking all prescription drugs. It wasn't easy but I'm just fine now except for this sleeping problem. I might start taking something to sleep again but I'm pretty reluctant. It wouldn't be Ambien, it's addictive. What do you think?

[malta blue]

22. Dog duty ...

First Luna will come and make feeble attempts to jump on the bed (she is 14 and can no longer do it). which wakes Egypt (who is under the covers) and then it is all about the outside and feeding time.

:hi:

[Lasher]

25. Poor Luna

I just got back up after going back to sleep at daylight. All rested now, that's my goofy schedule. Now I've gotta get ready to watch the big football game at noon: WVU at Rutgers. I sure hope my Mountaineers prevail. If we win out I think we'll be in the national playoff game.

Thanks for responding. I can see there is a number of reasons people are up that time of day: Pets, just coming home from working the night shift, getting stoned, and just can't sleep like me.

26. It's not 5:30AM -it's 23:08PM on a Saturday night and I am staying up late
