nothing wrong with that - fly as high as you can (or dare to)!

I'm pretty nocturnal as well. in high school, I was the complete opposite - was like the first one up in the family. and that says a lot considering my father is a farmer!

for me, it changed when my MI got super bad. I went thru a period where I couldn't hardly sleep at all, even though I wanted to. so I found the 'better' tv shows were on at night - NEVER in the mornings. eventually, I formed a sleeping pattern that worked for me. people around me made fun of me, told me I NEEDED to change and crap like that. but it worked for me, on so many different levels. plus I didn't want to mess with my sleeping, now that it was working for me, cuz not being able to sleep when all you want to do is just that sucks mega-big-time!

I have no problem being up the entire night. sometimes I look at the clock and realize it's like 5am and wonder what the heck happened, cuz I was gonna try to go to sleep 'earlier'. so who cares if I'm up all night - it works for me. I get my outside stuff done in the evenings and use a flashlight if need be - the nights are 'me-time' - then I sleep in the mornings!

I live on a farm and have pets outside. I'm pretty sure my Grandma thought I was joking when I told her I've been outside to see them pretty much any/every hour of the day!!! and that includes the middle of the night too!

things get complicated though when I'm around family! but part of that is my personality disorder. like two weeks ago, I was over to my parents house before 9am to spend time with my 2yo niece. was over there until like 8pm or so, then back to my place. I would spend like 2-3 hours doing random things at my place, then I would sit down and relax in front of the tv - having my 'me-time' (I live alone so it's 'away from the world' time too). that meant I would only get like 3-4 hours of sleep and have to do it all again the next day! thankfully, it was only a weekend-thing.

I had to be out of the house before 8am the other day to go to a doctor appt and it felt very very strange telling myself I should be sleeping before midnight! lol

anyways, power to the nocturnals!!! that's how things get done - behind the 'scenes'
