That's true, sucky thing though is when you don't live alone and have to use the bathroom and you try not to wake anybody up. In my case, being rather large, it's easy for me to make noise walking. It's awkward, more on me thinking of what could happen, as nothing really happened yet in terms of me waking someone in the middle of the night through bathroom trips.
Is a significant other, or others, supposed to obviate the need for such things? I have met the line in logic before but it is not one I can really fathom.
Had to quote that with the other matter under discussion.
I't doesn't simply remove it, just not the first thing you and a significant other think of. We'd rather spend our time talking about our days than the latter, you know?
I also used to be an overnight worker. However this was almost a year ago and I can't seem to break the habit still. How did you manage?
My nocturnal habit is to fall asleep at 9PM. I could never stay up past 11 AM for more than one night in a row, and now that I get up early for work, 9PM is about as much as I can handle.
I get the appeal of night time but I'm just not nocturnal, and on the rare occasions I stay up late I just end up in front of the TV, watching increasingly lame shows and then drag myself off to bed and hate myself the next day.

I used to be an overnight worker, 11PM to 7AM (gained 25 pounds, lost my will to live), and it took me one day to get back to the daytime regime. Some people are just nocturnal I guess.

Agree. My head feels all muggy after 11pm, no point staying awake because I can't get anything useful done. Staying up late doesn't let you get more done, you are just stealing time from tomorrow. Instead of staying up until 3am and getting up at 10am you may as well go to bed at 10pm and get up at 5am, if That's how much sleep you need. You'll have just as many hours awake.
Unless of course you get a muggy head in the morning and can't do anything productive, in which case go for it :-p Just don't fall for the idea that if you stay up later you're getting "free" time. You just pay for it later. Staying up late and just watching crap TV shows or browsing meaningless stuff that you're not learning anything useful from is such a waste.
I work 3rd shift. my entire life had to shift to being nocturnal. Which is fine for me. I've always had insomnia and it's actually nice to have a job that works with my insomnia.
Ironically I am an extremely anti-social person and I don't like to be around other people. So for me, working all night in a spot where I am suppose to avoid people and having only nights off where I can avoid people, is my way of life.

just about every day, I usually stay up till 2, play video games or listen to a few tunes, and i'm ready to rock the next morning.
I stay up late, because that the only time I get time to myself. Having a full time job, wife, and kids will do that.
I have three kids and a wife, so I need some time alone.
Other than that, I don't sleep much to start with - about 4 hours a night, If i'm lucky. I do tend to stick some headphones on, listen to some music and blur it all out.

Work office hours, but work from home on wednesdays and fridays, mostly.
I've always slept little, ever since I was a baby; my melatonine levels are messed up somehow. So I often sleep only 4 hours a night. Especially when softbrewing my consoles and devices, getting stuff to run. Sometimes I can't sleep until I've got it done (not that I ever touch the installed stuff afterwards - oh well). Once per week though I get home and literally crash down on my bed, sleeping for 12 hours or so.
You seem really sociable actually; I'm glad you get to socialise with people over a message board by means of what they write. Writing is often much closer to what people actually are - at least, that is what I think.

I mostly stay awake either doing some reading or playing. Mostly do it out of necessity because of snoring problems that are kinda erratic. Sometimes I will, sometimes I won't. It wakes up my older sister so I'll wait until I'm sure she's in a deep enough sleep before sleeping myself.
Though, if I get entranced enough with what I'm reading/playing I can end up staying up till 4 or 5.

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
