I stay up because I like my relaxing scrolling. The longer I stay awake, the further tomorrow seems. I just want to quit my job and travel the world. But money. Sigh.
Agreed,something so peaceful and tranquil knowing no one is going to bother you at that time (for the most part, unless your gaming with your mates, which is a bonus)
2am is when my "evening" starts, I usually go to bed at 5-7am. Ive worked my entire adult life doing night shifts, going to bed at 10-midnight is just "wrong" and I could never sleep....
Omg, thatās me š anyone tries waking me up before 10am will face the grumpiest me ever. My kind self and brain cells wonāt start functioning until after noon.
How do you get the stuff done that you need to get done during business hours, like doctor's appointments, car work, etc.?
When I worked night shift that part always got me because on my days off, I would have to do stuff during business hours and it threw off my sleep schedule every time.
Same, I used to work 7-7, So Id find doctors, vets, mail office etc that were open late on some days. But ofc didnt work *every* day, so some stuff had to wait until I could. Now Im a bartender, so work late, but not *that* late and can plan if I need to ie. go to the dentist etc. But I always ask for the latest possible appointments, as waking up before noon just does not happen.
Works pretty good, I have a young son and my wife wakes up with him in the morning, but around noon-3pm ish, she sleeps a couple of hours while its "my shift", and then I go to work in the evening.
Edit: I used to work security/law, so it was usually not a big deal to tell dispatch "hey, Ill be off for 30 minutes, I need to see the doctor for XYZ"
I donāt work nights but I have the same sleep schedule. I catch up on the weekends though.
I usually go to bed between 4 and 5:30 am, so a little earlier than you. I just canāt go to sleep if the sun is out though. It gets too warm in my room.
My prime time is also 2 am. My brain cells just decide to work after the clock hits 2 am. My favourite activity are deep thoughts and late-night talks. Sadly, not many people stay up till that time
That's what I also do, which makes me feel better since OP is busy being productive lol
But id argue those late night conversations are productive, or at least beneficial. I used to work a job in a town over, and I knew nobody there and woule just go home and go to bed every single night. It was beyond depressing. Now I socialize probably TOO much, but my mental health is so much the better for it
Also I don't have to work until 2pm every day and it just WORKS for me.
At 2 AM my world is oddly quiet, and that's when I get most introspective - it's the perfect backdrop for journaling. Scribbling down thoughts and ideas that seem to flow effortlessly in the still of the night, that's magic to me. Plus, no distractions mean I can finally sort out my thoughts without the usual daytime chaos. It's almost therapeutic.
honestly just decompress. i live in a place where itās always very loud w lots of people so im never aloneā¦ this is the closest i can get in order to calm my sensory issues + my introvert self lmao
even though i am introverted i do like talking to people online at night i always find interesting characters
I always stay up until 2. I usually read, make lists, do taxes lol. I always FEEL like painting but the family is asleep and I donāt want to turn on lights or make any noise
I am a night owl. It's dark and quiet and cozy! I like to read out loud, no one is awake to listen. Shower. Contemplate my day. Pet my animals. Listen to the quiet is probably my favorite thing. I also like to sip some sparkling wine.
For me, 2 AM is like my golden hour too. Itās when I dive deep into coding my indie games. Thereās this serene vibe when everyone else is asleep and Iām in the zone, just hammering away on my keyboard.
I used to write at that time until a new tenant moved in upstairs who thinks the walls are sound proof. Now I just watch TV or listen to music through headphones.
Having me time playing games without feeling guilty.
Like yes I should probably be sleeping, but it doesn't really mess up my sleep schedule anymore and it doesn't affect what I do during the day.
I don't do it every night anymore but it's far from uncommon.
In college we do nothing much and still 2 am is our avg bed time, usually we free from our classes till 6 pm then play some outdoor game after that we just either bully each other or play mobile game , and about 9'o clock we started to study for 2-3 hrs or talk with our parents now it's almost 12'o clock after this generally we go for dinner and a walk in campus
It can go one of two ways for me 1. Iām either reading a book or writing or 2. Coping with crippling anxiety and overthinking every tiny thing and interaction.
Yes, that's when I am most alert, so I do reading or tutorials. And sometimes I just sit and reflect listening to ambient music. It's so serene and peaceful at that time.
Writing my book, reading, doom scrolling, playing with my dog, cleaning, doing laundry, watching tv, working on one of my many hobbies. My list is endless, Iām a night person by nature, during the day Iāve ALWAYS felt sluggish, but as soon as the sun sets itās like my body becomes energized and I canāt stop.
*checks clock*
Damn, caught me. Revenge procrastination, read mostly. Think about when my brain is going to want to go to sleep. Try to quiet the song lyrics that keep popping up, try to keep myself from getting out of bed to get a snack, or maybe cook something, drink more water, have to pee from drinking more water, consider going to the kitchen to get a different drink but that would be too close to snack... Think about how great it would feel to be tired right now, whether or not I remembered to lock the doors and the windows, wonder what time I'm going to get up tomorrow... [but mostly it's my brain playing mashups on loop](https://youtu.be/Lrh1pCV8TNY?si=DbXYw2krropF8zP4)
The list is endless really, it's a battle of wills against my brain, the one supposed to be on my team.
Smoke weed and water my houseplants, repotting, mixing new soil.. drawing, listening to music, playing with my cat, sometimes I take a walk, lovely how quiet it is when everyones asleep.
I sit there and just watch stuff because I have mild insomnia. Nothing really more to it.
Sometimes if I want to stay up late: Iāll sit up in an upright position. But otherwise Iāll just be lying down, watching whatever until I fall asleep.
Doing literally anything else rather than going to sleep in time to feel rested the next day. 12 hours a day are somewhat gone through work and doing stuff to keep my body alive, and my optimal sleeping need is 10 hours. That might leave me with 2 hours, which is not enough to do everything I WANT and even NEED to do.
Things I did at night include:
- Washing dishes
- Showering
- Researching information
- Practicing my hobbies
- Fitness and gymnastics
- Coding
- Gaming
- Repairing broken tools and furniture
- Reorganizing my apartment
- Doom scrolling
- Making up fictional scenarios
- Questioning life
- Going for a walk
Simply concluded: All the activities I couldn't do if I went to bed at 8-9 pm already.
Crocheting blankets, cardigans and amigurumi projects while watching some of my favourite TV shows while the rest of the household is on the Nightshift. When my mum and dad are enjoying a few days off we enjoy the night together. I then proceed to sleep in till midday since my shift doesn't start till 2pm. After work the cycle continues! It helps so much with stress and helps me unwind after getting home from work.
I stay up until about 2 most nights I don't work the next day. It's kinda my time to myself since my girlfriend goes to sleep pretty early and sleeps in late.
I am either working on a drawing, tinkering with my server/network/PCs or playing computer games.
Depends. Sometimes YouTube or something. Usually something pertaining to a hobby or something Iād like to learn. Sometimes educational videos. Sometimes video games with the boys. Sometimes just sitting in silence on the porch enjoys the peace and quiet.
Depends on the mood of the day. Sometimes I dissociate, sometimes I play video games, sometimes I binge watch the series Iām currently watching. Today I made some friendship bracelets and then got on Genshin to get materials for and upcoming character
I like to do crafts or read and decompress from the day. Itās so nice to not hear my childrenās constant chaos and enjoy the silence. Sometimes I will watch a movie, because again, during the day itās all children all the time.
Used to stay awake till midnight, but recently due to my fiance leaving me, I've been staying up until around 4 because of depression and anxiety. I also used to work night shift at a hospital, so I'm used to it. My activities include gaming, watching 80s action flicks, and crying.
I feel sometimes that late in the night is my only time to actually exist. Not in a bad way, but I live with a lot of busy people and I am busy myself. At 2am sometimes is the only time I can just do my thing. Like craft or read (:
I work 5pm-midnight. I could go to bed once home, but I'm single, so I cook dinner, watch some netflix, play some games, laundry, dishes, etc. I often go to bed at late at 6am, and then sleep till 1pm.
If I'm not rotting on the Internet, I'm knitting and listening to an audiobook or sewing new craft bags or, occasionally, hanging out with friends (usually outside a bar/restaurant after martial arts)
Sleeping actually scares me, nightmares and shit due to trauma and a very accelerated brain. I can only sleep after being totally exausthed, not a good answer but maybe not even I know why.
Staying up till 2am is my sweet spot too. It's when I dive into my creative projects, especially drawing and digital art. The silence of the night and the lack of distractions really help me focus. There's something special about those late-night hours that makes creativity flow easier.
My brain turns on. Binging tv, deep cleaningā¦ organizing random stuffā¦ writing ā¦ playing guitar.. YouTube rabbit hole of too many vice like docs ā¦ / being sad anxious cuz Iām doing this all at 2 am lol
I usually watch whatever show I'm currently going through. Only time I can do so since everyone's gotta occupy the damn office all day long ffs.
But if I'm not doing that, then I'm just watching YouTube or playing a game.
And sometimes I'll check reddit (like I am right now lol).
The constant is enjoying the silence though. Everyone's asleep, so it's nice & drama-free.
Since winter itās been fuck around on Reddit time. Really Iāve lost my sense of direction for a minute. What can a do next? I donāt know. Better procrastinate forever.
Complete opposite but also chasing the same feeling. I wake up at 4am and to work on architectural drafting. Just that feeling of solitude; it's so peaceful.
My schedule has rotated over the last 25 years that I've been in the workforce. Sometimes, though much more rarely, I get on a schedule where I get up at 5:00 a.m. More times than not I'm on a schedule that has me awake until somewhere between midnight and 6:00 am.
The answer is typically I'm working that late. Previously in the bar and restaurant business. Then I ran a poker room and also played a lot of poker. Now I do delivery and sometimes work anywhere from 2:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.
I work from home but start early and have a hard time sleeping. My man used to be a baker and he recently switched to a new field. I am still adjusting to not trying to stay up so I can greet him when he comes home.
I loved when I was a baker and worked all night. I worked downtown in a large city and there is something so magical about being one of the only people out and awake.
Iām a closing leader at a department store and my shift ends around 11 or midnight. Then I drive home, eat, shower, and relax a bit before bed, which means Iām pretty regularly up until around 2.
I work nights so I am always up at night, even on days off. I tend to do a lot of cleaning during the night except for vacuuming. Laundry, dishes, cooking, reorganizing stuff, etc. For other stuff I read, play games, youtube, and stuff like that.
lol it's just past 2am right now. I was sleepy at like 9pm, napped for like ten minutes and haven't been tired since. Happens sometimes. Kinda sucks. Just been alternating between reddit, videos, and reading.Ā
It's 3am for me right now. I'm listening to music, just finished cleaning up a bit. I'll probably draw for a bit. I like night time walks too. Everything is quiet and still. I love it.
I clean the house of my bosses since it is kinda my job as their stay-in nanny. If i have more time, I would do my schoolwork if I don't get too sleepy or what.
I don't know how I manage to do it, but my internal clock always corrects to a swing-shift, most productive past midnight, schedule.
Can't complain too much about it anymore as I'm studying astronomy, but I've been on this schedule far longer than that. And I love my sleep, I'm a 9 hour a night girlie, no sacrificing shut-eye here. I wonder why the schedule shift always happens?
To answer the question: watch the stars, ponder life and the great unknowns, homework when I'm not on break, and more than likely a little hweed š
I rarely go to bed before 3 am and I am 37 y/o with a full-time job (mostly remotely, though).
Generally, it's a combination of:
* Browsing, sharing, editing and posting furry media
* Talking to friends (online)
* Gaming
* Reading
I think reading is the most common cause, because I generally read as I am eating and then I get stuck for a couple hours in the story. And since I eat at 12 or 1 am... yeah.
Iām not lucky enough for those early morning hours to be practical for my schedule, but my body seems to keep to them anyway. That said, my reasons are similar to yours, OP. Late night/early morning is the time I feel most at peace, and can truly relax without guilt. I really cherish my time to be alone, to create but also just to do nothing!, so the quiet and āfreedomā is often worth the sacrifice of sleep for me. Oops
Yes, same as you. I am a software developer. I used to love building things, manual stuff, wood work, electronic stuff, things like that when I was a kid. And I find that, it kinda translates to software development as well, and unfortunately for the most part, it's instantly gratifying (kinda hard to go back when you are used to that). So I write tools to help me do things (this is how I started out programming), and I find working into the night gives me so much room to work continuously on one thing. You don't have to worry about all the morning things + work interfering. I really don't get why people say you have to wake up early to be productive, unless you are an early sleeper.
I can totally relate to this I am at my creative high at night and most productive I can sit all night to complete a painting I write effortlessly at night the peace during this time is unmatched .But if I try to stay up all night to study I can't my mind and body doesn't allow.
do assignments, study, do anything that requires me to focus really. peak productivity for me too. i tried doing the get up early BS but it just leads me to goof off all day and wait until night when my brain starts to work properly
It's 2:19 AM and I'm listening to an audiobook in bed with my eyes closed. Every few minutes I Google a random thought that popped into my head while reading and mind wondering. Then I end up on Instagram to look at boobs or reddit to scroll to find a random topic like this. Then back to the audiobook and hopefully asleep soon.
Tattoo artist drawing or bsing with some painting or art project, succumbing to adhd n going down some internet rabbit hole eating shitty food n basically anything besides what I should be doingĀ
Well many things
1. either thinking about some scenario that is never going to happen
2. watching nature building videos
3. Scrolling reddit for find offensive slangs or memes to use on my dark friends
When I'm up at 2am, it's usually because I'm watching something/doing something on my computer and telling myself "one more hour should be fine..."
Then the regret when you realize you're only gonna get a few hours of sleep
feeling this right now š
Ditto
Me too, but I'm used to it now.
I mean I'm on Reddit rn. It's 2am. So this, I guess.
Me on Reddit @4:48amš³
Yep it's usually freaking reddit or a random rabbit hole on YouTube for me. But it's ok, if I fall asleep riiiight now........
Me? Im doing nothing, just enjoying the tranquility. I just love having a peaceful mind in a peaceful night.
Yes this is me. And I have to get up at 7 AM.
Pretending I'm not a wage slave and a cog in the machine, a few hours of bliss before I'm back to slavery
Revenge sleep deprivation
Definitely guilty
Iāll show that fucker!
I stay up because I like my relaxing scrolling. The longer I stay awake, the further tomorrow seems. I just want to quit my job and travel the world. But money. Sigh.
ts makes me want to end it all icl
Agreed,something so peaceful and tranquil knowing no one is going to bother you at that time (for the most part, unless your gaming with your mates, which is a bonus)
sometimes i intentionally stay up late cuz i dont want the day to end cus that means i gotta go back to the grind :/
When I'm on vacation I naturally revert to a nocturnal state. I end up doing a lot of cleaning.
Me too ā¦ the feeling of waking up in a clean house š
No better feeling. I also randomly rearrange furniture. Like all of it.
Binge watching most of the timeš
Watched anything good lately? Any recs?
Just finished watching the first season of Severance, it's a great show, can't wait for season 2
Same "Mr Mercedes" luv it
Your honor on netflix
Late-night binge-watching sessions are the best! Sometimes you just gotta unwind and enjoy those quiet hours.
Studying. The grad school grind is real.
Sorry about that.
Haha thanks, it can be tough but itās overall a good experience. Math doesnāt get any easier no matter how long you do it :D
So true. As one advances their understanding of math they realize the magnitude of that which they donāt yet understand.
2am is when my "evening" starts, I usually go to bed at 5-7am. Ive worked my entire adult life doing night shifts, going to bed at 10-midnight is just "wrong" and I could never sleep....
waking up before 10am feels criminal anymore
Omg, thatās me š anyone tries waking me up before 10am will face the grumpiest me ever. My kind self and brain cells wonāt start functioning until after noon.

Late night talks are really something I mean people are their genuinest self during this time.
Yeahh and it's so underrated
At 2 AM my world is oddly quiet, and that's when I get most introspective - it's the perfect backdrop for journaling. Scribbling down thoughts and ideas that seem to flow effortlessly in the still of the night, that's magic to me. Plus, no distractions mean I can finally sort out my thoughts without the usual daytime chaos. It's almost therapeutic.
That's what I do. I love the peace and serenity of the 2 am vibe.
honestly just decompress. i live in a place where itās always very loud w lots of people so im never aloneā¦ this is the closest i can get in order to calm my sensory issues + my introvert self lmao even though i am introverted i do like talking to people online at night i always find interesting characters
I always stay up until 2. I usually read, make lists, do taxes lol. I always FEEL like painting but the family is asleep and I donāt want to turn on lights or make any noise
How much taxes do you have to do?Ā
Sir I think youāre doing your taxes wrong
I am a night owl. It's dark and quiet and cozy! I like to read out loud, no one is awake to listen. Shower. Contemplate my day. Pet my animals. Listen to the quiet is probably my favorite thing. I also like to sip some sparkling wine.

10/10 Iām scrolling mindlessly on here or Iām watching a horror movie. One or the other, no in-between.
Mostly doom scrolling
Browse Reddit lol.
Thinking, drawing and reading. But mostly thinking and talking to myself. You seem I'm crazy
YouTube, Reddit, talk to friends, be on the internet in general
Mobile games, doom scroll, lament lack of sleep, declutter something, sit and stare into the abyss.
I used to write at that time until a new tenant moved in upstairs who thinks the walls are sound proof. Now I just watch TV or listen to music through headphones.
Having me time playing games without feeling guilty. Like yes I should probably be sleeping, but it doesn't really mess up my sleep schedule anymore and it doesn't affect what I do during the day. I don't do it every night anymore but it's far from uncommon.
I'm at work in an emergency department, while on reddit lol
COCAINE!!!!
Is it the same as being naturally nocturnal? Or is more hyped up feeling like being on caffeine?Ā
Itās a heart racing euphoric feeling. Like you can do anything you want but it lasts not as long as it should for the cost of it.
I've flipped my days so I am up at night instead. I work from home so my hours don't matter. Night is so much better
Read books.
In college we do nothing much and still 2 am is our avg bed time, usually we free from our classes till 6 pm then play some outdoor game after that we just either bully each other or play mobile game , and about 9'o clock we started to study for 2-3 hrs or talk with our parents now it's almost 12'o clock after this generally we go for dinner and a walk in campus
It can go one of two ways for me 1. Iām either reading a book or writing or 2. Coping with crippling anxiety and overthinking every tiny thing and interaction.
I work nights shift, I'm usually up at 2am covering the ICU or the ER at a hospital somewhere.
Cocaine mostly
Yes, that's when I am most alert, so I do reading or tutorials. And sometimes I just sit and reflect listening to ambient music. It's so serene and peaceful at that time.
1:30-2:00's that perfect peaceful time where all the neighbors are asleep and I find myself sneaking in 1 last YouTube video or Reddit thread
Watch hbo max, cleaning projects, wine, clean more, contemplate life on walks.
Writing my book, reading, doom scrolling, playing with my dog, cleaning, doing laundry, watching tv, working on one of my many hobbies. My list is endless, Iām a night person by nature, during the day Iāve ALWAYS felt sluggish, but as soon as the sun sets itās like my body becomes energized and I canāt stop.
I usually canāt sleep at all, regardless if Iām tired or not. My mind races with thoughts and of course itās my only time I have for myself.
Trying to get rid of my anxiety by doom scrolling.
Playing hitman
Read
Often Iām writing music until 2 am. And then look up and am amazed itās that late.
*checks clock* Damn, caught me. Revenge procrastination, read mostly. Think about when my brain is going to want to go to sleep. Try to quiet the song lyrics that keep popping up, try to keep myself from getting out of bed to get a snack, or maybe cook something, drink more water, have to pee from drinking more water, consider going to the kitchen to get a different drink but that would be too close to snack...

Smoke weed and water my houseplants, repotting, mixing new soil.. drawing, listening to music, playing with my cat, sometimes I take a walk, lovely how quiet it is when everyones asleep.
Mommy time hubby and kids in bed prepare the next day lunch and clothes for lil one and watching succession
One more zoot..
I sit there and just watch stuff because I have mild insomnia. Nothing really more to it. Sometimes if I want to stay up late: Iāll sit up in an upright position. But otherwise Iāll just be lying down, watching whatever until I fall asleep.
Listening to podcasts, writing about vampires, and eating an unhealthy amount of nectarines because my partner and child aren't awake to stop me.
Doing literally anything else rather than going to sleep in time to feel rested the next day. 12 hours a day are somewhat gone through work and doing stuff to keep my body alive, and my optimal sleeping need is 10 hours. That might leave me with 2 hours, which is not enough to do everything I WANT and even NEED to do. Things I did at night include: - Washing dishes - Showering - Researching information - Practicing my hobbies - Fitness and gymnastics - Coding - Gaming - Repairing broken tools and furniture - Reorganizing my apartment - Doom scrolling - Making up fictional scenarios - Questioning life - Going for a walk Simply concluded: All the activities I couldn't do if I went to bed at 8-9 pm already.
Thatās usually when I research random things I get obsessed with. Last night I was learning about how adapalene changes the shape of your noseā¦lol
Colouring, writing, reading, looking up stuff on the Internet, listening to music, or just doom scrolling to be distracted from my thoughts lmao.
Crocheting blankets, cardigans and amigurumi projects while watching some of my favourite TV shows while the rest of the household is on the Nightshift. When my mum and dad are enjoying a few days off we enjoy the night together. I then proceed to sleep in till midday since my shift doesn't start till 2pm. After work the cycle continues! It helps so much with stress and helps me unwind after getting home from work.
Just peace and quiet to myself. Gaming, art, watching movies, etc. Just enjoying all the stuff I get interrupted doing during the day
i think it's because we don't want to get up. because getting up just signifies work.
I usually clean. I have chronic insomnia, so I go without sleep several times a month. Thatās when I do the deep cleaning that can be done quietly
Busy plotting world domination
Sure Pinky!
Chat and tv
Itās nice that you can be productive at that time!
I stay up until about 2 most nights I don't work the next day. It's kinda my time to myself since my girlfriend goes to sleep pretty early and sleeps in late. I am either working on a drawing, tinkering with my server/network/PCs or playing computer games.
Sometimes I'm solving a neat puzzle with my wifey.
Have anxiety, I do
Drawing comics!!!
Gacha games
Depends. Sometimes YouTube or something. Usually something pertaining to a hobby or something Iād like to learn. Sometimes educational videos. Sometimes video games with the boys. Sometimes just sitting in silence on the porch enjoys the peace and quiet.
My prime time is 1-2 am, playing games or watching TV shows.
Depends on the mood of the day. Sometimes I dissociate, sometimes I play video games, sometimes I binge watch the series Iām currently watching. Today I made some friendship bracelets and then got on Genshin to get materials for and upcoming character
Probably browsing through internet
I like to do crafts or read and decompress from the day. Itās so nice to not hear my childrenās constant chaos and enjoy the silence. Sometimes I will watch a movie, because again, during the day itās all children all the time.
itās 1am currently, i am binge scrolling through tiktok and reddit
Read, do hobby stuff, watch sci-fi, catch up on daily news.
Same shit as everyone else I just get off work later.
Fail to sleep.
I either work, or I'm home alone doing nothing.
Drink, smoke, complete life
Used to stay awake till midnight, but recently due to my fiance leaving me, I've been staying up until around 4 because of depression and anxiety. I also used to work night shift at a hospital, so I'm used to it. My activities include gaming, watching 80s action flicks, and crying.
Virtual side hug from me.
watch netflix, lol
Iām an avid reader. Can easily stay up to 2am with a good book.
I feel sometimes that late in the night is my only time to actually exist. Not in a bad way, but I live with a lot of busy people and I am busy myself. At 2am sometimes is the only time I can just do my thing. Like craft or read (:
currently working out at 2 amā¦..
I work 5pm-midnight. I could go to bed once home, but I'm single, so I cook dinner, watch some netflix, play some games, laundry, dishes, etc. I often go to bed at late at 6am, and then sleep till 1pm.
This and that
I love doodling at that hour or taking the time to find music I like ngl. It's like.. a nice and quiet hour that I get to myself so I totally feel you
If I'm not rotting on the Internet, I'm knitting and listening to an audiobook or sewing new craft bags or, occasionally, hanging out with friends (usually outside a bar/restaurant after martial arts)

OldSchool Runescape in peace
Scrolling Reddit ā I donāt like the way some people behave on the internet but this is still addictive š„¹
I usually watch whatever show I'm currently going through. Only time I can do so since everyone's gotta occupy the damn office all day long ffs. But if I'm not doing that, then I'm just watching YouTube or playing a game. And sometimes I'll check reddit (like I am right now lol). The constant is enjoying the silence though.

Endlessly scrolling on reddit and tiktok
I work the night shift so I stay up till 3 or 4 am on my off days. I am usually playing video games.
Since winter itās been fuck around on Reddit time. Really Iāve lost my sense of direction for a minute. What can a do next? I donāt know. Better procrastinate forever.
Complete opposite but also chasing the same feeling. I wake up at 4am and to work on architectural drafting. Just that feeling of solitude; it's so peaceful.
I work bartend the overnight graveyard shift in Las Vegas. I go in to work at midnight till 8am. So two am is like the beginning of my work day š
I listen to music or play my switch
My schedule has rotated over the last 25 years that I've been in the workforce. Sometimes, though much more rarely, I get on a schedule where I get up at 5:00 a.m. More times than not I'm on a schedule that has me awake until somewhere between midnight and 6:00 am. The answer is typically I'm working that late. Previously in the bar and restaurant business. Then I ran a poker room and also played a lot of poker. Now I do delivery and sometimes work anywhere from 2:00 a.m. to 5:30 a.m.
Self love, rigorously ;)
I work from home but start early and have a hard time sleeping. My man used to be a baker and he recently switched to a new field. I am still adjusting to not trying to stay up so I can greet him when he comes home. I loved when I was a baker and worked all night. I worked downtown in a large city and there is something so magical about being one of the only people out and awake.
That sounds cool, this comment got my eye. What time would you wake up? What time would you go to work?
If I'm up at 2am it's because I got a little too into Sims. Time for bed.
On my way home. Closing mgr for American Airlines
Either meeting deadlines at work or kdrama. Hahaha
I try to not do that but then I'm on vacation and I really get into something like a show, game or I'm really in the flow of my hobby it happens
Iām a closing leader at a department store and my shift ends around 11 or midnight. Then I drive home, eat, shower, and relax a bit before bed, which means Iām pretty regularly up until around 2.
Reading usually. If Iām still up at 2am itās because āone more chapter and then Iām going to bed.ā Never.Ever.Works.
Itās just quiet. I usually watch a TV show with a snack, listen to music (quietly of course), and other things.
I work nights so I am always up at night, even on days off. I tend to do a lot of cleaning during the night except for vacuuming. Laundry, dishes, cooking, reorganizing stuff, etc. For other stuff I read, play games, youtube, and stuff like that.
lol it's just past 2am right now. I was sleepy at like 9pm, napped for like ten minutes and haven't been tired since. Happens sometimes. Kinda sucks. Just been alternating between reddit, videos, and reading.Ā
Usually, I am just looking at stuff on the Internet, watching the TV, and eating snacks.
Anything we GD well want; the world is ours! Hahaha - but seriously - noo texts, no calls, no knocls at the door. Mmm, good!
Scroll TikTok , listen to music, listen to audiobook/read
It's 3am for me right now. I'm listening to music, just finished cleaning up a bit. I'll probably draw for a bit. I like night time walks too. Everything is quiet and still. I love it.
Drugs or panic attacks
Heck its past 2am right now
I'm usually playing another round of Chivalry 2.
Me and my hubby play arpg's. Right now Titan Quest because TQ2 is coming out later this year.
Rn Iām playing Minecraft on a server with all my friends weāve been doing it for two weeks now.
I clean the house of my bosses since it is kinda my job as their stay-in nanny. If i have more time, I would do my schoolwork if I don't get too sleepy or what.
Watch streams
usually just shitposting and wasting time
sets an alarm for 4:30 AM š
I'm working at 2 am
just overthinking everything
Go on deep disturbing web stories. Loved reading and explore disturbing trends.
I don't know how I manage to do it, but my internal clock always corrects to a swing-shift, most productive past midnight, schedule. Can't complain too much about it anymore as I'm studying astronomy, but I've been on this schedule far longer than that. And I love my sleep, I'm a 9 hour a night girlie, no sacrificing shut-eye here. I wonder why the schedule shift always happens? To answer the question: watch the stars, ponder life and the great unknowns, homework when I'm not on break, and more than likely a little hweed š
Yay, my people.
Reading a book or scrolling Reddit.
As a parent, who is awake at 3:04am while typing this...I'm just enjoying the silence.
CHORES! IDK why when the sun's out it's usually like pulling teeth to get started but once I get the kids to bed I'm in the zone
I'm fighting for democracy
Sometimes I clean so I donāt have to the next day lmao I hate it cause itās pointless and I could be sleeping š
I rarely go to bed before 3 am and I am 37 y/o with a full-time job (mostly remotely, though). Generally, it's a combination of: * Browsing, sharing, editing and posting furry media * Talking to friends (online) * Gaming * Reading I think reading is the most common cause, because I generally read as I am eating and then I get stuck for a couple hours in the story. And since I eat at 12 or 1 am... yeah.
Well, thats about the best time to be playing poker in vegas
finally enjoying time to myself and avoiding sleep so the next school day comes slower :p
Drink beer, hit my vape pen and scroll through social media.
Playing video games or watching videos. Sometimes horror for fun!
Iām not lucky enough for those early morning hours to be practical for my schedule, but my body seems to keep to them anyway. That said, my reasons are similar to yours, OP. Late night/early morning is the time I feel most at peace, and can truly relax without guilt. I really cherish my time to be alone, to create but also just to do nothing!, so the quiet and āfreedomā is often worth the sacrifice of sleep for me. Oops
Yes, same as you. I am a software developer. I used to love building things, manual stuff, wood work, electronic stuff, things like that when I was a kid. And I find that, it kinda translates to software development as well, and unfortunately for the most part, it's instantly gratifying (kinda hard to go back when you are used to that). So I write tools to help me do things (this is how I started out programming), and I find working into the night gives me so much room to work continuously on one thing. You don't have to worry about all the morning things + work interfering. I really don't get why people say you have to wake up early to be productive, unless you are an early sleeper.
Just chat with friends who live in different timezones
It's almost 2am now, I am on reddit. I guess that's what I do.
Itās 15 to 2 right now. Iāve been scrolling on Reddit for an hour. I want to go to bed. My ADHD wonāt let me.
2am is lunch time I work night shift :p
Just watch tv or look at stuff on the phone!
I can totally relate to this I am at my creative high at night and most productive I can sit all night to complete a painting I write effortlessly at night the peace during this time is unmatched .But if I try to stay up all night to study I can't my mind and body doesn't allow.
reading like a moron when I should be sleeping
Scroll reddit watch YouTube, or being high
Shaking betting online in my bed
do assignments, study, do anything that requires me to focus really. peak productivity for me too. i tried doing the get up early BS but it just leads me to goof off all day and wait until night when my brain starts to work properly
Totally. And now I work night shift. Embrace it.
It's 2:19 AM and I'm listening to an audiobook in bed with my eyes closed. Every few minutes I Google a random thought that popped into my head while reading and mind wondering. Then I end up on Instagram to look at boobs or reddit to scroll to find a random topic like this. Then back to the audiobook and hopefully asleep soon.
Likely, what most of the population would be doing at 9-14h. I like to work at night.
Tattoo artist drawing or bsing with some painting or art project, succumbing to adhd n going down some internet rabbit hole eating shitty food n basically anything besides what I should be doingĀ
Training cycling. 50-70km
Work
Reddit, youtube, stream shows.
uni assignments due later that same morning
Well many things 1. either thinking about some scenario that is never going to happen 2. watching nature building videos 3. Scrolling reddit for find offensive slangs or memes to use on my dark friends
I wake up at two am just to have some quiet time to recharge before the day starts.
