Seraphina71 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I absolutely hate going to sleep- always have and always will, and no I do not know why. Unfortunately, my kids share my late-night leanings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have to stop myself from doing it. I think I just like the time on my own with no other demands on me. I don't do it because I am responsible for driving my children in the car the next day, and I take that seriously. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonygirl Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 I agree time to self. Dh can do whatever he needs when he needsto. Me I Feel like I have to be done with all my "stuff" before I can watch tv or go on computer or look through school and theraphy catalogs.:001_huh: Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I stay up ridiculously late at times for no reason. I'm not even productive during that time! I think I do it because I crave time to myself. It's one of the few times that the house is quiet and I'm sort of by myself. It's a bad habit, though, and I need to stop it.

From one Ronda in TX to another Rhonda in TX (LOL).... This is me *exactly*. Sometimes I am productive, sometimes I am just "vegging" - depends on how the day went that day! It's a bad habit that I regret every morning when I don't roll out of bed until 9:00 (which means we don't start school until 11:00-12:00). But what do I do again the next night? Sigh. I also agree with a PP about the DH thing - he does what he wants when he wants, but my "free" time doesn't seem right to take until all my other things are done, which is most often after 10:00 at night :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I do it because I crave time to myself. It's one of the few times that the house is quiet and I'm sort of by myself. It's a bad habit, though, and I need to stop it. :iagree: I am an introvert and recharge my batteries by time alone, whether it's on the computer (not as good), reading, watching tv, working around the house...whatever I can get! With three boys 10, 7 and 3 time alone is impossible to get during the day - I can't even go to the bathroom with any expectation of not being interrupted by a booboo or just curious 3 year old who wants to be close. I sometimes stay up until 2am but it make getting up at 8am pretty tough, especially if I do it too many days in a row. I'm working on finding balance here.

It's one of the few times that the house is quiet and I'm sort of by myself. It's a bad habit, though, and I need to stop it. I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one. It's much easier to vow to stop doing it when I'm dragging at 8 or 9 AM. Much harder to remember what the big deal is when I hit my "groove" around midnight. :glare: Gotta retrain that body clock. I come by it honestly, though--my dad is just as bad. DS3 seems to have inherited the night owl gene tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was the only one who used the "research" excuse!! :lol: You'd think I'd have a PhD by now!!! ;) lol I am in the same boat with you other gals too. I stay up too late to have some quiet time and replenish my sanity although sometimes I am staying up just trying to catch up with the dishes/ironing/laundry etc work of the day that needs to be done. I know I should sleep more (especially when that alarm goes off at 6am to get my son up for school), but sometimes you just gotta stay up late to get sufficient quiet time to calm the nerves from the day, dontcha? ;) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
