Night Owls Unite!!!

Are all night birds welcomed? I'm not a night owl but I'm a night eagle. HAve a racing thoughts and couldn't sleep all night. 5 : 25 AM here.

Takeshi, I was a duck owner years ago. Too bad I didn't remember how they sleep.

So well I see this thread is up and alive! I haven't slept ALL night and it is not almost 2:30pm, gonna push it through till 10pm and then possibly sleep the whole night (let's hope). I can't believe I did it again.

Obsessed! Damn obsession with the internet! With chatting with forums with blogs ARGGGGG!!!! Gonna pull my hair out with this internet addiction.

Why Do Roosters Crow?

The research mentioned in the article came from Japanese University, and that's a bad news, and here's why. Below is the gist of the survey conducted in 2011.

The source of this survey also mentioned municipal-government-run dog/cats compound and I believe things are as bad as I've ever known since I was a little kid, the standard of animal welfare seems at a pitiful level, I don't know what could be done about it. Primate research facilities and laboratory corporations do horrible things to animals, **** the understandings of animal research. I still remember tv footage where the report explained some puzzle solving apes and stuff, and the viewers have never educated on the blood that runs through in their veins.

Unmasking Horror -- A special report.; Japan Confronting Gruesome War Atrocity

Please do take the time, read and understand the Japanese war time history that's not in most of Japanese conscious minds. People are fed lies all through their lives, taught not to think independently, the Hiroshima victims thinking have been taking over everyone, and they haven't learned of the shameful ways they lead their lives. The New York Times writer wrote it well, illustrating the way this living war criminals think. There's nothing to sympathize with or understand about this 'anything-outside-of-Japanese-human-form-is-foreign-ideas', they haven't cleaned their act, their morality is drenched with the blood of real victims, public broadcast systems keep spewing the covered up presentable version of its histories, it's all whack.

Wooo a thread for me! Yesterday I couldn't sleep until 4:30...only to get a gross, GROSS dream later. Stupid sleeplessness...

Still here, still awake...

At it again tonight! Burning the midnight oil. Up and manic like all hell. Chatting, listening to music, excited about tomorrow. (I may be getting my favorite cable channel back, I know it's silly but I loved it!)

Anyway, hoot hoot!

When in the middle of my depression of 18 months I started to day sleep. I also thought about a night job. I went to apply for a night job and the employer talked me into taking a fast paced day job with constant social interaction. It was a real shock to my system. Now I like it even though it is still kind of a shock. It is half past midnight where I am and even though I have tomorrow off from work I am ready to go to sleep. I now believe my night owl habit over the years was a kind of avoidant behavior. I am happy I was talked out of a night job. I am still not fully out of the depression but my schedule has completely switched to sleeping at night.

Thanks for sharing your story! My night owldom (word?) is part of the fact that I just quit my job and it's kind of a shock to my system. I am having a hard time finding structure in my life again. I would love a day job. I was actually sleeping at night for a bit, but went back to my old ways.

My therapist suggested I NOT take a night job, and I agree. Although I like being up at night, I think I need to wake up at least by noon.

If I didn't have the new job I would still be day sleeping and that's a fact. I have been battling severe depression and suicidal ideation. The job is fast paced and during working hours I can't think about personal stuff. The job is certainly not ideal (see my recent post about getting injured on the job today) but all the drama (and today my crushed finger) is keeping my mind occupied and things are shifting in a very subtle way. Having said all this and believing with my whole heart that a day job or some type of responsibility is essential for mental health....I look back fondly on night owldomness (is that a word, OMG to me it is) -------- even depression is somehow a strange and safe cocoon. But just because I am nostalgic about it I know it is not the place I need to be right now. It is good to know when one needs to be in a cocoon...and when one needs to break out. Birth is painful. So go the full period of gestation before pushing through to a new birth. We need to be kind to ourselves.

I didn't sleep well at all last night. I think it was just me dreading what I have to do today. I'm not homebound, not all of the time anyway, and I have a lot of anxiety about going out and doing stuff. I think a big part of my insomnia issues stem from me being a worry wart. I like the night because it is quiet and I can think without being bothered too much. But, too much time to think may not be a good thing.

I agree with this. I always try to "think" my way out of things...but, in truth, after a certain point to "act" moves things along. Your point that a lot of thinking can contribute to anxiety is well taken. I find when I am forced to move my body and do physical things my constant anxiety is somewhat reduced.

Also, being active during the day burns up energy.

One thing I have become aware of is that anxiety plus caffeine is my surefire way to bring on insomnia.

(((DechanDawa)))
Caffeine and anxiety is the secret to no sleep. Or if you do sleep it isn't very good and is an almost sure fire way to bring on nightmares.

But sometimes I also have insomnia that comes on me out of the blue. One night this week I tossed and turned the entire night despite having to get up early to go to work. Other times nightmares wake me up. I think that for the most part going to bed early and waking up early suits me the best and I feel the most rested but I can't always manage to do that.

At it again, little past 1am and flying higher than a kite. Oh well. I don't have a job to worry about for a while. So I am good for the most part.

This is an odd thought. Today, no it was actually yesterday, I came to understand the picture of the seasonal change and myself. I'm no night owl, that period of my life is over. I can not be explained that way. Me, the tiny universe are in relation with the cosmos, then I have this brain state spikes at least two times a day, the rest is still an unexplained mystery.

Loved and unloved part of myself, my life's an energy, I don't know how or when I can follow up on this, but this just leaves me more questions to ask, I know that we already have some sciences for that.

The night owl theory is a myth! This auto-magically kicks a lark's *** too.

That fundamentalist guy was irrational. I just don't read psychology stuff online any more, Today will be gone by tomorrow, now that I think about it, he was using unreliable datas to begin with. Say, going on a Huffpost and I'm reading a badly written article, I can tell what's bad from good. I don't know, it wasn't that long ago that I came across 'the night owls are smarter' disinformation, I'll let this journey of eliminations continue.

I'm scientific, I read the person(s) on literally readable materials, let me drop the science, I instigate the investigations, in the most intelligent manner, insta-you weighs just about a gram, that's not much. What's worth to you, that's your hunger and how you eat, I don't mean ill at all. It's just some stereotypes seem true to me, the land of plenty in a materialistic sense, that's where I need data and analyses for. It is my philosophical belief that people don't know what they really want.

I'm also a human coder/decoder, **** with me and ....smh

I don't care about online privacy much any more, Google is now like a junkyard, this is a little consolation since I don't mind getting dirty, monkey gotta do what monkey gorilla do. The color of death and the funeral scenes are black and white, the color of an union between man and woman is red, white, man wears black. Into the wild, why was it never my career option?

My head's a garbage bin, and I take full responsibility for that.

This is my hiding place. I'm targeted by politeness police, and I'm a sharp shooter, and the fifth duck dynasty guy, you effin pogos, I'll get ya.

I'll be owling again from the looks of it, ever since I woke up today, there's been too many 'oh ****!' of new revelations about life, you try to rock your life too today/tonight. Bye.

ETA: Depression, the expression IS maneuverable. I'm not gonna talk about it though, I'm not the one thinning the herd, sorry.

I hope the review goes well for you, 3 points, marriage/long-term relationship, your career, and a financial responsibility. The order could be,,,needs to be flexible, even if I'm wrong about this about you, you could just pick three important aspects of your life, pivot and arrange it, make/figure it as complex as you could think it, you could keep a tally of all of your micro/tiny reactions in life, that's where you'd find the tipping point to become 'oops, I'm at it again...'. For things like overspending and over-drinking, I believe the solution/habit change is simple, you must find the best for you.

Bipolar ladies are like, I don't now how to describe it. You were watching crappy films on new years eve or around the christmas times, I don't remember which, if you talk more about yourself from your gentlemen friends point of view as best as you could on your blog, I think you'll improve your life, it's unsexy, 'a micro perceptive change of an American life', Currently available right now.

Anybody's top 10 lists, from the tv/radio that you grew up with, to the things on the internet of course, "hey I'm your multiple sources!", it's just about chaos navigation/plot-tification, I love your normal aspects of your life on the blog of yours, keep up the great work.

P.S. Have your ever talked about your memory/library, or corruption mechanism of your storage data or .... Usually, a family stuff are like ... I think it's a trap.

I don't know what happened last night. Either I woke up a bajillon times, or I reached the seventh level of dreams. Either way, I can't sleep tonight. Just to be on the safe side.

I'm quite mentally stable right this moment, I tired to sleep and it ended up as 2-3 hrs of not sleeping at all, I'm on 29th hrs by now. I construct my brain with the freedom I got, so I got this new idea/theories going on in my head, it feels as big as this quantum universe, I'm safe within my controllable ability, the real life seems a bit tedious, and this can't be good.

And here's another thing, it simply feels right when things I posted/pondered about follows me later on, maybe it was almost over 6,8 months ago, a year ago? It was about a human mind being outside of the perspectives. While I was tuning myself into my musics that I like, it felt like I was above/outside of the perspectives, there were no questions, they sounded like offering of another persons's perspectives, no frames/frills, or superstructures were needed to understand the floating ideas, it's new to me, I don't know what this is conceptually called in this world, I had couple of other ideas too yesterday, I better not name anything, it's just wonderful.

This part of the forum looks quiet, just as an owl prefer, is that a Lucifer? Yours truly, I'm the master pacifier to your .... bad suckin habit, it's a tad bit habitual, wouldn't you say? It'd be unconstitutional in this thrown republic party, what would, you may ask?



You'll be lookin at “demanda judicial” on your buttocks if you're not a man, I bang big time.

I won't miss, and that's a promise that can't get any realer.

I'm a night owl and I personally find it annoying when people tell me how I should go to bed early and wake up early because I will think or focus better during the day or because it's good for my health.

Sorry but the only time where I'm able to focus and do anything right is at night for the most part. I'm generally more drained during the day which makes things difficult for me and the only way I can get around that is to live off coffee and energy drinks which is a lot worse in the long run than sleeping during the day and getting stuff done at night.

Oh and another perk of being a night owl: less people outside. I don't like dealing with people because most humans annoy the living hell out of me so I avoid the public whenever possible. If I wasn't forced to do my grocery shopping during the day because the buses don't run at night where I live, I wouldn't even go grocery shopping during the day.

In fact, I might just start ordering off Amazon Prime Pantry instead of going to Walmart whenever possible.

That's all folks

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'

Even though its Saturday night, the forum seems pretty quiet. Thanks to all that have been posting here! It's nice to see my fellow night owls having a good time

For me I have been up all night the past few nights, and I get up mid-afternoons. I don't know, I can't seem to get myself in a healthy sleeping pattern. I am tired all the time during the day and I think it's due to my meds. i will start to cut my pill in half and see if that helps.

But good to see my fellow night owls!!! HOOT! HOOT!
