That's right. I'm 22 years old and for some reason I simply cannot break my habit of staying up late for absolutely no reason. I don't accomplish anything - unless you consider a few hours of senseless gaming (as in, I don't actually progress) or some post counts on forums as an accomplishment. If I have something to do the next day I can usually manage to get to sleep before 1AM but otherwise... between 3-5AM. I still wake up before noon everyday though! >____<

Anyone else stay up late and not do anything productive?

Actually, it's a prerequisite to become a member. You have to produce nothing in life and have 2-4 close friends, and aside from that, nobody really cares about you. Especially employers. Come to think of it, I've had trouble getting a job since I've joined. :ness:
Oh well. A noble sacrifice indeed. :bird:

Not really.
 
Ibid.

Was up until 4 AM last night/this morning. I have no job. I am not a productive member of society.

I'm such a winner.
 
Bah, I stay up late all the time for no reason whatsover ¬_¬ Although alot of the time, I blame insomnia, but even when im sleeping fine I still go to bed far to late, tehn Im crabby in the morning, but i will STILL stay up to late the following night...its like a vicious circle of non-sleep :gonk:

I just prefer eveniongs/nights to mornings/daytime though, I guess it's just like an early riser getting up too late - I feel like Im wasting the day even though Im not techniczlly DOING anything if I go to bed too early ¬_¬

Come now, this isn't spam, you should know better

More thought in your posts etc, simply saying Same here is considered spam :monster:
 
I thought this was the lobby :gonk:
but anyway, okay then, I'll make an actual post >_>
I'm always going to sleep at about 4-5 and I wake up at 12-2pm >_>
School is starting in about 1 month, and I have a whole math book to complete :gonk:
Fail.
 
I seem to do this quite often lately.

I did get into a good routine of going to bed early and such. But the thought of going to bed only to have to wake up to the sound of my alarm in order to start work did not appeal to me.

So I figured that since time goes faster while you sleep I would stay up instead, in order to put off having to wake up for work.

I mainly just watch a DVD or come on here and post about for a bit until it gets close to the 11:30 to 12:00pm mark.

I'm not completely stupid that I would make myself utterly tired for work the next day, so I try to get in at least seven hours sleep.

Unfortunately I am not rich and don't have the luxury of not having to work and being able to sleep in until whatever time I feel like each day. <_<
 
I do have a job, and I stay up late as well. =/ It's been like that for about three years, if not more.

I usually go to bed around 3/4am as well, and than get up around 11 or 12 in the afternoon. =/ But at the same time I have no trouble going to bed earlier, and getting up early. I'm just more of a nightowl than anything. xD

No problems with it here to be honest. If I gotta do things, I'll do them later on the day. :gasp:

Edit: I guess I do have the luck I have a evening shift till midnight at my work, but still... =/ It's not the best idea/habit to stay up that late xD...

I'm 22 too with nothing accomplished. I read so many novels, listen to a ton of music, watch a bunch of movies, spend hours in games like FF. I feel like I absorb so much every day but produce generally nothing back, if that makes any sense.

Sleep patterns vary, too. Last week I woke up around 9am every day. Last night I woke up at 1am. Yes, am. That's how I decided to register on here. Hi guys! :X

Now I have a 10 page paper due in 12 hours. Sigh..

Calling me stupid young lady?! Heh, I do this frequently. I am the type of person who wants to enjoy my hours - I go to bed at 12 to 2:00am and wake up at 7:00am.

Yea I'm tired, but I love long fulfilled days/nights etc. Fulfilling as in when I get home I generally am tired, but I log in to my cpu at home and fill out a few emails here and there. I pick up a game and put it in either on the xbox or the computer.. which tends to be the CPU as of late.

Then I go to soccer.. by this time it's 9:00pmish. So my fiance and I generally stay up till around 12:00am watching movies and then maybe pop in some gears of war 2 and we play some horde..

Yea I could say fawk off, and go to bed.. but hey I love being useless =P.
 
I cant stay up late i dont like it. On weekdays im up at 6.30am to go to work and home at either 5pm or 7pm depending on whether or not i do overtime. BY the time 11pm rolls in at night im literally knackered and i cant keep my eyes open and so i go to bed.
On weekend nights when i stay in im still in bed pretty early, i get tired if im at home doing nothing. If im out in the town whatever saturday night staying out all night isnt a bother.
Simply put if im out and about i dont get tired but being in the house on the laptop/computer or watching the box just puts me to sleep. I need to be doing something productive out of the house to stay awake.
 
Update! I accomplished 4 instances of nothing just last night! The fruits of labor are so sweet! Oh, that's why my mouth's so bitter. Unless of course it's the coffee. I'm so proficient in the art of nothing, I decided to get into game testing for a job, for which I'm currently in the middle of my resume. Also, I've written 3 songs, start to finish on the guitar and vocals, well whoopie fxcking dew, amirte? 8F God that face is creepy.
But yeah, 4 instances of nothing in 1 12 hour span. I mean, how :awesome: is that?

I had to lawl at that. :highfive:

Game Tester isn't the best job in the world, I promise. Well I guess it depends on what you're testing and how thorough they expect you to test. I know the QA's (Quality Assurance aka Game Tester) at my previous job hated it. We went through QA's faster than my game went through Dev's... and my Dev's quit A LOT.

I have successfully completed 2 nights of nothingness. I found myself watching Big Brother After Dark for the past two nights. At least the houseguests have been fighting a lot lately...
 
I stay up late alot. Infact toooo much xD. I drink and do stuff etc. I love this site. I just stay on so late even when its dead sometimes. Also msn keeps me up. If only the little fucker would work all the time. Anyways yeah. If my parents and others are sleeping then I do really odd things. Like sleepwalking and hitting stuff etc.
 
Staying up late and getting nothing done is the story of my life. Another thing I tend to do as well is feel like I have nothing to do, then like an hour before I go to bed, I think of a million things I gotta get done and make an attempt to get them all done before I go to bed.

Well lets see, I'm now over 3 years removed from college, been working a day job for about 2 years now and I still go to bed at 1 am at earliest. On the weekend, the day before going to work, I tend to get to bad at like 3 or 3:30 typically and have to wake up at 6:45. Needless to say after my 9 hour work day, I'm pretty beat. But even after the long day, I still stay up beyond midnight. I'm hoping my body can adjust sometime, but for some reason, if it hasn't happened in 2 years of a day job, then I don't think it will unless I make dramatic changes in life.

On the weekends, I typically get to bed at 3 am at the earliest. During my vacation this past week, MSN conversations would have me up awake until 6 am. And even though I stay up as late as I do, I still manage to get my responsibilities done, but some days 1 or 2 may slip by in favor of relaxation or a personal project that has no impact on actual productivity. On my days off, I typically sleep until noon, sometimes until 1 pm or so. I don't like to wake up any later than that though.

Maybe 1 day, us night owls will become day people, but seriously, what's the fun in that? :gonk:
 
I found that job stress fixed that problem for me pretty quickly. I used to stay up until 2 routinely - I had grown accustomed to it in college, usually having an 8AM class, yet always staying up.

But, once I got through the noob phase and the job actually started to carry expectations, heavy workloads and hours - I made sure I got enough sleep whenever possible. I'd usualy try to work it in with sedintary recreation - i.e. crawling into bed early (9-10PM) and watching whatever TV I had backlogged on the DVR.

The down side to this is, since my free-time during the week is non-existant, I find myself springing out of bed early on weekends wanting to be awake while I'm actually free to do whatever.
 
Well I know I stay up late, usually for 6 AM. I spend the time watching anime and reading manga, Sometimes *Focus on the word "Sometimes"* I watch some porn just for fun and to kill the time. You can't feel the time when you're watching lesbians :)

Join the club. I stay up late all the time playing random MMO's. Half the time I don't even level up. I just endlessly slaughter noobs for no apparent reason. I've had problems sleeping every since I was little. So, not sleeping is normal for me.
