anyone still up?

[fizzgig]

yeah, it's the middle of the night for just about everyone, but i haven't even been home a half hour and i'm just getting settled into my wind down routine. smoking on the porch, fussing around the internet, listening to a cure concert i hadn't heard before on youtube.

it's a beautiful night, i don't have to go back to work until tuesday, one of my besties is staying with us this weekend and t minus 17 days until my bestie of besties is in from germany. the only thing i'm missing is a cold beer, but damn, life is good.

1. Enjoy your evening

I have to be up in 4 and a half hours. Studying for a certification exam after the family goes to sleep, means little sleep.

Peace!

[fizzgig]

2. sleep well

and good luck on the exam

3. I'm up!

I'm often a night owl. If I'm still up at 5:00 a.m. I go to the gym and do my workout routine.

[fizzgig]

5. i've always been a night owl

230-330 is about my bedtime, i can sleep until 1130 if i want to. the dawn was breaking as i fell asleep this morning and guys showed up at 10 to paint the front of the apartment, i was a bit grumpy about that.

4. I'm still up, my dear fizzgig, but I'm fading...

Your porch time sounds wonderful...

Enjoy your wind down routine!

I just popped in for a moment to have another look around the Lounge...and I spotted you!

Have a great time with one of your besties!

[fizzgig]

9. Night owl here checking in

We are a unique bunch.......my normal bedtime is about 4am or later.

I hate that others think I have some kind of disease or something. I never understood why there is a set mentality that everyone should be in bed by a certain time and those that aren't and especially those that sleep late are freaks.

[fizzgig]

10. i think it's the early birds who are the freaks

i've been lucky enough to have spent the last ten years in jobs that accommodate my sleep cycle.

[truegrit44]

11. Ya, those that brag about how early they get up are the real freaks

I've found a way to stay out of the morning cycle for 40 years myself with jobs and working for myself.

13. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I'm checking in...

I would have had a beer on the front porch, but I got to "get up" in another 2 hrs. Man...I'm gonna fizzle out Friday night!

[fizzgig]

14. sorry you couldn't sleep

it's been a bit since i've had a sleepless night, sure i'm due for one

[MrMickeysMom]

16. I know exactly what it is due to...

Having a need to do much, mind working overtime...

Plus, I haven't had a vacation in a month of months!

Oh, well... At least I work a half day tomorrow!

[fizzgig]

17. good deal on the half day

and it sounds like a vacation might be in order

[olddots]

12. since we sleep 1/4 th to 1/3 rd of our lives away

couldn't we at latest be able to choose when we sleep ?

[olddots]

15. I have a house full of boring books and documentarys if anybody needs them

some of them will make you sleep within five minutes .

[Tobin S.]

18. Freak checking in.

Up at 4:45 and I'll be out the door at 5:35 and at work by 6.

I feel better when I work second shift hours. It seems like that's the only schedule where I get enough sleep. But I doubt I'll ever be on that schedule again.

[pinboy3niner]

19. Hang in there, Tobin

And keep on truckin'...

[Tobin S.]

20. There's a place up ahead that I'm going, come along with me.
