Late Nighter's. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Laitoste · 01-23-2007, 01:06 AM

It's 1:30 here. I'm writing a paper and trying to read for class tomorrow. I try to avoid late nights, because I don't have time to nap during the day. But it doesn't work very well, so here I am.

It seems we are all more productive late at night or early morning! Laitoste, don't we all try and avoid them! Just too damn hard to avoid completely. For once I am up late "against" my will. Revision for an exam this morning (

) at 9:30am.

I intend to have no sleep, thus completing 16 hours of revision. Anyway, back to it, any other late posters out there on the Downs who have evolved nocturnal habits for answering the great threads I am missing in the Books fora, while I am away!?

I hate to double-post, but I just realised that the Downs is actually more effective in keeping me awake than coffee is. Not that I would know, since I don't drink, and don't intend to learn drinking, coffee.

PS. I also noticed that a good number of the posters in this thread are (was, in the case of Celuien) Biology -- Biochemistry in the case of Farael -- majors. Ironic that those who are supposed to be studying life seem to end up having less of it...

I just checked my initial posts in this thread...

Right now, I have a new job (as editor of two webzines - holla and I'll drop you a link sometime if you want to write for me, btw), and so my schedule is... ridiculous.

It's very free, and very unstructured, and I often find myself talking to someone in China while it's 4 a.m. wherever it is that I'm at.

It's a Barrow-Downs kind of schedule...

The spooky, walking-dead schedule.

I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

Holidays make me a hopeless night owl. Not nice, considering that school starts on Monday, I'm up and awake and it's soon 5am... I bet I won't be able to recover my normal "sleeping rhythm" before the holiday ends...

McCaber · 01-04-2008, 10:10 PM

I know how you feel. That was me for the past four nights. Can I continue the streak?

Meneltarmacil · 01-04-2008, 11:41 PM

Well, I suppose I can, considering that I've still got next week off... then again, I do have to get up sorta early tomorrow to help take down some of the decorations at my church, so I probably shouldn't be here at this hour (12:41 AM my time).

Yes, I do stay up later than I should, especially over holidays... *sigh*

Well I'm definately not going to lose this opportunity to post here on the thread.
ToDay

is the first schoolday and I'm going to have to leave to school in about an hour, but since I've up so late the past few days it's kind of hard to go to bed. And I thought that the few hours would anyway only make me more tired in the morning. Plus, I thought that if I don't sleep now it will be easier for me to go to bed earlier this evening. Yeah, quite a vampire-like lifestyle...

Lol, know what you mean Lhunardawen. I mean, I'm only in the 12th grade here and we are already laughing at those that have Biology as an advanced class cause all they have to do all the time is learn.
Fortunately, I was wise enough to avoid that.

And, also I seem to be using the Downs to keep me awake right now, as I also don't drink coffee...

I'm actually disappointed that Lommy hasn't come up with this great strategy as well, would have been fun to see some other online before school.
