I knew I'd feel like crap...

I'm a night owl to begin with so go to bed at a really bizarre hour anyway, but I find I have a harder time winding down after writing articles of which I started an in-depth one about financial aid for pet owners with high vet bills. It's like I can't switch my mind off so I sit in front of the TV much later on like a zombie when instinct tells me........go to bed already I was lucky that I could sleep in though...perfect day for it...dark, overcast and gloomy...blah

sometimes my wereing gets very tiring. apart from that not really.

Yes I do I guess I do it because at the time it seemed what I wanted to do and just take the Consequences which is not always good I guess but well that is me

I do it because I get stuck and I just do not want to get out of my chair. Like right now. I should go shower, wash dishes, put clothes in dryer. I want to eat some more as well. Here I am on MyLot, and Gather, and not in bed or shower either one.

I am sending you a strong cup of Blue Mountain coffee to get you wired. I don't know why we do stupid things but we just do. The same with me if I stay awake reading knowing full well that I may sleep through the alarm. I then I keep checking the alarm like an old lady and sometimes turn it off quite by mistake. We do these things because we are sometimes sadistic to ourselves, I expect.

I know that feeling oh too well.I tend to stay up on the pc and then wish i had not as i am feeling yuk the next morning from lack of sleep.So then you think i will have an early night and that never happens either as you end up doing the same thing again lol.

I think in the circumstance that was the best form of action to take my friend, because if you had stuff on your mind and had you of gone to bed you wouldn't have been able to sleep! So you would have felt worst, tossing and turning and not being able to switch off. In regards to knowing in advance that I was going to feel crap I had this feeling well when I used to gamble, I would stay up till sometimes 3am in the morning, I couldn't sleep and so I would stay up late even though I had to be up in the morning, I would be psyched up and the adrenalin would be flowing with me as I gambled away, but as soon as I switched off the television and got into bed then the realization of what I had done would hit me, although I would wake up feeling a hundred times worst and guilty too as well as shame. Thankfully I have gone a month now without gambling. But I hear you, I hope you have sorted the stuff out ok ;0)

hi dawn,you are not alone.i try to be more organised nowadays but i lose control once in a while,maybe it is because of that stubborn streak in me or maybe its feels like fun to have fun .

I presume poppit is some sort of computer game? Do you settle the things on your mind? If so, a lousy afternoon might be worth it. At times, in the voluntary work I do in children's ministry, I work all through the night and keep going all the next day. As long as I'm busy, it doesn't bother me. Sometimes, because of a hectic schedule, we have to drive all night and grab 2-3 hours sleep before the next appointment. On a recent trip, we had 5 days with no more than 4 hours sleep (usually less) each night and non-stop days. One good night of sleep at the end and we were back to normal again. On the other hand, if I have a late night because we have visitors, or for some other reason, I feel tired the next day, and after lunch I have to force myself to keep going. I hope you manage to find a cosy corner at lunch time and have a snooze.

Were you trying to finish your badge? I gave up on that one! I do the same thing sometimes.....I get company every thursday night and it's becoming later and later that she leaves.....but we both enjoy our time together so much and always have so very much to discuss!

dawnald I wish I could stay up a lot later but I have a roommate d arn it and she wants to go to bed at least by ten party p ooper,well anyway I have been on most ot the day, trying each month to make enough to p ay my small internet bill 33 dollars and 13 cents Idid make 32 dollars so almost made it., he he he.

Hi dawnald, I have not had enough sleep for a few days now, I have been up till 5.30 in the morning on my computer and by the time I go to bed its 6.00 then I be up when someone comes to the door or rings me, I think I've only had about two hours sleep if that so yes I feel like crap today and hope to go to bed a bit early tonight, hope you get some sleep tonight too.

As you said... i have stayed up late knowing im going to pay for it just because my head was buzzing with a million different things. A different take on it is when I try to take a shortcut (a suggested shortcut) to my destination before i do i know im going to be so mad if it doesn't pan out.. usually it doesn't lol... Sometimes the then and now feeling overcomes common sense. Like... if you are thinking about something or just emotionally stressed sleep is the last thing on your mind... but somewhere in the back you know that you are going to pay dearly with exhaustion for not getting a good nights sleep... just the way we humans are i suppose.

Every Sunday night..lol. I stay up super late knowing I have to get up early. I don't know why I continue to do it. I don't want my weekend to end I guess.

yea,more so when i was younger. but sometimes after taking care of mom all day i'll stay up and work on stuff,otherwise it wouldn't get done.

That happen to me everytime I enjoy too much on a movie... I know it is late but still do it to finish the movie lolz... I don't know why I do that... sometimes I can't even finish it and still have to continue again the next morning but still stay up late and keep on watching it. lolz what a fool huh?

I do that all the time! After 9pm is really my only chance to relax, and sometimes my only chance to spend time with my hubby. We'll both stay up a lot later than we want to, and then have to get up earlier than we want and be tired all the next day. I do want to go to bed earlier sometimes, it's just so hard to stop having fun!!

Maybe u can catch u a nap. I do that all the time. Why do i do it?? because there's noone else to do it.

Oh yes! I've stayed up way too late, either doing something I enjoy on the computer or watching a good movie that we never should have turned on at that time of night, and paid for it the next day. My worst offense involves iced coffee drinks. For a couple of years now my stomach hasn't been able to handle coffee of any kind. It gives me cramps that lasts for hours but every couple of months I'll stop somewhere and convince myself that "this time" I'll be able to drink this or that iced or frozen coffee drink without suffering afterwards. I'm always wrong.
