Is it good for you to stay up too late?

I dare not stay up too late being online because it's so hard for me to go to sleep if it's too late. Since I've been a member of myLot,I go to bed before 10:30,never past 11 at night. Do you often stay up?

Hi. Oldsix691418. No. When I am sleepy, I will allow myself to rest. I used to do my best staying wide awake, but I can't do it anymore. When sleep overpowers me, I have no choice but to give into its subjection. I no longer try to stay up anymore than my body allows me to.

I stay up too late all the time. I need to go offline sooner so that I am able to settle down and sleep.

Of course it will be better to sleep earlier. However, most of the time I have to go to bed after 0 O'clock. That's because I need to go to work in the daytime. And when I am home at night, I have to take care of my child and do some housework. After my child goes to sleep, then I can have my own time. Time goes so fast. It is very easy to pass few hours after that. I love China

I do not stay up late either (except Friday and Saturday nights) because I have to get up early the next morning to get to work on time. I do very much enjoy staying active on myLot, but at the same time I should not be late at my full-time work place. Friday and Saturday nights, yes, I some times stay on way past midnight !

If I have rested enough or sometimes I cannot get to sleep,once in a while I just get up to watch TV or to get online.

I should be in bed between 9 to 10 pm otherwise it would be hard for me to sleep. So I would not stay up late as much as possible. I avoid going online during the night so my sleeping habit won't be affected.

In the daytime you have enough time to do what you want to do,so you don't have to stay up late,that's so good.

It is not because of mylot that I stay up late at night but it is because I am suffering from insomnia. I have to thank mylot for accompanying me during my insomniac nights. I try to sleep early but sleep won't come so I end up mylotting until pass midnight to make my eyes tired. It has become a habitual affair to hit the sack at the wee hours of the morning. But to compensate for the loss of sleep I'll wake up quite late in the morning. Since I am a LOL (lady of leisure) time is at my disposal.

If you are comfortable with your routine than it is okay otherwise you can develop a routine of getting sleep early by starting to wake up early in the morning after sleeping late. This will make your sleep time less initially and will help to sleep early the next day. You can also have a glass of warm milk before going to bed. Soothing music is also very helpful for sleep. Keeping eye close and thinking nothing which makes it difficult to sleep is also useful. You can do a bit meditation sort of thing or you can think about good things of your life. These all are very beneficial in developing a sleeping routine.

You are suffering insomnia,but you have so much leisure time,so you can always make up with the lost sleeping.

I have the same problem and I am retired so it doesn't affect me as badly as it used to when I had to work. Some days I just couldn't go to work because I was so tired. A gal at work got on me about it one time and didn't understand what I was going through. She would set up with patients in nursing homes and the hospital for extra money and then come to work. I was contending then with an abusive husband and trying to get up with my kids, get them off to school and then get myself to work. After fighting all night with an abusive husband. And now I have social anxiety.And insomnia. Ghee! Go figure.

Well, personally, I don't think that staying too late is good for me. There were times that I stayed up late but it's not good for my health. I feel weak the following day and sleepy. I think that the best for me is to have enough sleep so that I can wake up good and fine to do the task that I'm supposed to do during the day. I don't do mylot at night time because I have no time. I am at mylot during the day when I have some spare time to spend.

I like both.Sometimes I will get to bed in an early hour and often too late at night.I like to stay up too late because that is the only time I have to surf and do my own thing.I always find information, stuff to sell, learn things mostly from internet or read books and these will make me stay up late at night.

I do go to bed late and sometimes it is myLotting and other times writing articles, my boyfriend is in the theater so I take advantage of his late night rehearsals and stay alert online so I can get to what I could not all day by him being home. It does not interrupt my sleeping nor how I get up in the mornings, I guess my body is use to it.

I don't stay up too late here on mylot. Mostly because I have to go to work the next day, and I want to be fresh, ready, and give a full performance at work. I just got a new job and I don't want to ruin things, before I was self-employed, work for my family, back then I would spend countless nights at mylot.

I used to sleep late at night or even early mornings because of my work. I don't feel recharged when I wake up a couple of hours after. But I was used to it a couple of months after. hahaha...

I wanted to stay here as much as I could but I just can't. And it was the opposite of me because I rather have a hard getting up in the morning instead of having a hard time going to sleep. Plus I don't want my work performance to be affected as I often felt drowsy if with less sleep and it's difficult to focus anymore. Usually I go to bed between 10 and 11 pm.

If I were late for work because of oversleeping,I would tell my boss the truth directly,for having overslept is so rare for me.It's my bedtime now,see you.And have a good dream!

I dont think it really matters what time you go to bed or what time you get up. The important thing is how many hours sleep you get.

Great,you are quite right!If we have enough sleep,we will be full of vigour and can work effectively.But if you don't get used to staying up,maybe you can't get enough rest.

I used to go to bed really late, when kids where younger (6,4,2 or 10,6,4), I just waited them to be asleep to do laundry or ironing or washing dishes, or setting on my eshop. Since kids are older 12, 10, and 8, and I wake up at 4.30 am to begin my day, I have to sleep early, at 9am, 9.30. I just pray with my children and then I go to bed, and let them go to bed too by themselves. Let me also tell you, that I make exercise to relief stress. So this helps me to sleep early =) ... Blessings!... Dainy (in fact: this are the first 7 months ever on my life that I´m going to bed early like a chicken, hehe)

Hehe,when my son was young,I had also to do lots of housework,for my wife had to do sewing,and I had to help her with ironing clothes till midnight.And these 10 years I could sleep following the normal sleeping routine.Have fun!

I do, especially when I want to spend some time going online as I never seem to have enough time during the day. But that's because I have three kids that I'm taking care of. But I do try NOT to stay up TOO late because if I do I usually regret it as I would feel sluggish and tired the morning after.

You are so busy that you have to stay up too late to get online,that's understandable,and you know health is important,that's fine.

I'm a later sleeper and an early waker. I can sleep as late as 3am and still able to wake up about 7am. I'm used to the routine even though i know it's not good for my health. I don't have a regular sleeping routine, will sleep as and when i feel sleepy. I don't like to force myself to sleep when i'm not sleepy because i might end up staying awake the whole night.

I have not stay up too late, because it's very bad to your healthy. If I have plenty of work to do some day, I'd rather hurry up in the daytime. Now, I go to bed about 10:30, it's the best time for sleeping. I think heathy is most important.
