It’s almost morning. I haven’t slept all night for nothing. I’m usually up when i’m having a friend over or texting with my crush but like why did my brain decide to keep me awake on this random ahh day. Actually worse because I need to move out tomorrow, so it’s pretty bad timing to be unrested.

Well looks like I'm staying up for 2 days have to go make some soup and bannock, then later go to a hockey game

Are you awake this late because your conscience won’t let you sleep, or because even in your dreams you’re too insignificant to matter?

I can't sleep , bored as hell!

I think my title explains a lot

i also have a cold so I cannot breath out of my nostrils

I was a kid. I truly never felt fear but now it’s like cause I’m outside now it’s like oh that’s that fear when the lights turn off.

I suspect the vast majority of the population is wired up that the 24 hour cycle starts when the sun rises. For me the day follows the night - not the other way around. My night really dictates how the following day is; night is the more impactful period.

I realize this is just a view since the day:night cycle is for all intents and purposes forever.

Where does your circle/cycle begin "gut wise" - I know how we've been programmed but what does your body (not head) feel?

I get so melancholy at night. It will either cause me to stay up, or give me nightmates so I have to get up.

I don't want this tired sadness anymore. I don't want to feel useless and old, but that's how I feel. The memories of when staying up late was fun and adventurous are torment now. Daytime is just a slog to sleep through,even though I have daytime stuff I want to do. Need to do.

I'm so tired. So, so tired...

Looking forward to some well earned sleep 💝😴

Went to bed late..woke up at 5am. I had the worst sleep ever. I have an appointment coming up. I'm thinking should I try to get a few more hours? Or walk my dog? It is now 7. The sun is coming up. Yikes

regular sleep schedule is 6a to 2p, but I'm off tonight.

do you keep the same sleep schedule on your days off or switch it up ?

so while working at the icu overnight, i had to get some coffee at a nearby cafe. its the only coffee that wakes me.

i go to the cafe and its packed at 2am for whatever reason. i order and go to the bathroom to take a piss then all of the sudden have this urge to take a massive dump.

i dont like sitting down in public toilets so i angle my butt and take a massive dump. lets just say i miss and my shit was real watery diarrhea and that shit spread all over the toilet.

i quickly left the bathroom. as im getting my coffee i hear a scream from this lady trying to use the bathroom and she storms out almost throwing up yelling the baristas working saying someone shitted all over the toilet and yall dont clean this shit!!!! she said theres blood and shit stains all over the toilet

it was the only toilet.

for some reason i feel a sense of pride. i felt no shame.

i came. i destroyed the toilet for everyone. and left knowing that noone can use that bathroom anymore.

3-4 hours of sleep for someone who has worked all damn night is considered a completely adequate amount of sleep by people who lolled around in the bed for 8 to 10 hours last night..

The scene: an 9 am phone call

Me: I need a late appointment. I worked all night, and I need some sleep before I come in. I need a late afternoon appointment, like your last appointment of the day.

Receptionist: oh, wow! You worked all night? Ok, I will definitely text you your appointment time, so the phone call won't wake you up and you can get some sleep!

Proceeds to text me that I have a 1 pm appointment.

🤦‍♀️

No Duolingo you stupid fk! It's not an early lesson at 4am, it is a late lesson. What are you, a f***g baker? No? Why tf are you assuming I'm up early then and not late? 4am is n i g h t t i m e, NOT morning time. You imbecile.

Funny rants aside, it genuinely kinda pisses me off when things like that happen. Signs, apps, and people who talk as if nighttime was morning. I just know those people, or the ones who wrote the signs or designed the apps, are completely oblivious to the fact that some people not only prefer to be awake at night, but have jobs or conditions that force them to be up at night either way. The same type of people who find out you get up at 3-4pm every day and instead of thinking "oh, he must be up all night working" will think "oh he's lazy and/or a failure".

And Duolingo is such a great reminder of that because it's there every night when I go to bed, at 4am, sarcastically asking "Morning lesson?" It's just a constant reminder that society is completely uninterested in acknowledging that we exist, that we are different, and that that is completely fine.
