It's 4 in the morning

P1ke- I am waiting up for my husband to get home, and am typically up late every night he works. I am one who cannot sleep when he's not home-so I busy myself online or what not. Right now I'm trying to catch up on missed threads, and watching the end of The Bridge over the river Kwai. I love this movie, one of my personal Sir Alec Guiness favorites. Some times though there are nights that I just am not restful. I end up reading, journaling, or if already in bed just laying awake with thoughts. I think we all experience these types of nights when the soul is just somehow troubled. I tend to do my deepest thinking though during these hours, so there is always a silver lining. Namaste-Anora

Its 9.45 A.M. here and I am at work. I too had a restless night yesterday, but then I have some problems which need to be looked into. I toss and turn, but never get up to do something. If I am up and about, then I know sleep wont come at all. So I just close my eyes and try to relax.

Hello there I am in Australia so it 2.18pm but I do like you when I can't sleep I get up and go straight to the computer..I think it is quite nice being up at that time , nice and quiet and it is almost like being the only one still alive...

Well I was awake P1ke like you awake half the Night but did not get up I laid there till I went back to sleep and just had a restless sleep from there on lol but Good morning to you I guess you have all the Housework done then

It isn't unusual for me to stay up until around 2am or later. I still manage to get out of bed by 7-8am, so it really doesn't affect my day-to-day life. I stay up late mainly because my husband refuses to go to bed at a reasonable hour and I just can't get comfy without him. :p

Well, I took a hot shower tried to relax went to bed about 9:30 pm..read a bit..bit didn't go to sleep, I couldn't sleep so here I am..I got out of the bed at 12:23a.m. I am such a night owl I must have been one in a previous life..lol

What are you doing up at that time in the morning? Didn't you have your cocoa before going to bed? I was up until 2.45 because I was laying a game but I was fast asleep by 3. Why couldn't you sleep, it's easy, you read a book until your eyes close and then your other half turns the light out and puts the book away. Have a hug anyway.

It's just after midnight here, which makes it just after 6am where you are. The world is shrinking.... I'd love to stay up and play with you, but I've had a long day and I must get to bed before the sun comes up. I get very confused when I see the sun go down, look up and there it is again on the other side of the house winking at me! LOL

I'm awake. I was just coloring my hair a nice shade of "natural" dark auburn. Goodness are you going to feel awful all day or do you manage to shrug off sleep deprivation?

Oh well, my friend,i didn't see your discussion last week. But, last night i had been awake all night until this hour. I can't get myself to sleep, i don't know why. So, i had been sitting in front of my computer since midnight last night. I only gave it a rest at 5am because i had to prepare breakfast and go to the market to buy our food for the week.Now, that i have finished cooking and have arranged all that i have bought in the freezer and refrigerator, i am at my computer again, i mean here on mylot again responding. To tell you the truth, it is a little quite in here at this hour. Just one or two discussions are posted every few minutes, maybe majority of the people on here are sleeping. Are you sleeping too, my friend? If so, then, pleasant dreams to you.

I some time awake before dawn. But I don't feel loneliness .To feel loneliness there mus be a environment.That I don't find in a city's apartment.

It's only a little after 11 pm here. What are you thinking about if you can't sleep? I hate night when I toss and turn. It's better to get up for a bit, than to lay awake not sleeping. Unless you happen to be enjoying whatever you're thinking about.....

I go through that at times where I can't sleep and I am up through the night. Sometimes it can be from the anxiety I go through. And sometimes I just lay there and pray till I fall a sleep. Most of the time when I lay there and pray I have a peaceful sleep through out the night. Do you ever think God wakes you up for a reason? Or just to pray.

well heck i am up now. but i know those nights when you just can't sleep. i have been having a lot of those kinds of days lately. i think next one i have i will long on to mylot and see who else is up

Well it is 5:30 am here and I been up all night, first of all when I go lay down my sinus starts running and it runs into my throat and strangles me. So once that starts I am awake and up for the rest of the night. Then there are some nights that about 10 or 11 I start with the cleaning, I have never been a person to sleep at night. My hubby is in Louisiana visiting family and this would leave me here alone but my grand son is staying with me while he is gone. He finds some good movies on the tv and I get into watching them and that keeps me up later too. I can not go into the bedroom and just lay there for hours waiting to go to sleep. I will just get up and go back to the computer or do laundry rather than lay. I need to go to sleep shortly after I go to bed to be able to stay in there. I spend many nights with maybe not more than a couple hours of sleep.

I often stay up late because I can't sleep. I've learned just to make the most of it, probably what you do, and enjoy a book or a movie. That's another perk of being unemployed! But I do enjoy that time of morning just before the sun comes up and all the world seems to be asleep with me as the only one awake. It's kind of lonely but very precious, like I rule the world! Sunrises are the best!

I am awake here, but it's still early at the moment, only a minute or two before 11:00 pm here in West Virginia. Sometimes I stay up late, but these days I usually go to sleep around midnight at the very latest. I used to love staying up all night until 4:00, 5:00, even 6:00 or later (earlier?) in the morning, but when you get a day job, sometimes things change... I don't mind going to bed early because my boyfriend and I both work during the day, so our schedule corresponds for the most part.

I'm awake too, P1key ... but that's no big deal, as it's 2.30pm. I'm about to have some lunch ... I hope you like smoked salmon toasties ... xxx

I'm awake, but it's already been almost a full day since you posted so it is 6.22 here for me.
