When do you enjoy spending time alone?

When do you like to spend time alone, either for working online or watching television or doing the things you love, like crafts? Do you spend your alone time at night or during the daytime when the kids are at school? Do you feel that you are more productive during the daytime versus night time?
My little kid gets an early morning nap, (before noon, since she gets up early) so my alone time in the house is usually early AM hours. Sometimes if she gets up at six AM she will be napping by ten AM and that is the time I spend online or cleaning the house.
I love the early morning hours best for doing the things I love, because everything looks so bright and clean. I feel so happy when the sun is up and it's a pleasure to work. But, at night I feel so tired, even if I've had plenty of sleep. So, I don't like to work at night. Just too depressing. So when do you like to spend your alone time?

Come to think of it, I don't really have a particular time of day I would like to be left alone. I enjoy it in general and I would say that I enjoy it even more at night when everything starts to get quiet and I could enjoy the "loneliness" reading a good book or even chat at mylot. Or sometimes I would stand in the balcony, looking at the dark sky and think about things. *smiles*

Well...all day long,I am at university and I don't know why but it feels comfortable when you are alone,either at campus or at home...In home,when I arrive somewhat in the evening,I just close my room door and sit quietly doing my work,or watching movies or whatever stuff.It is so nice to be in harmony.

There is tranquility in silence, don't you think? Very soothing for the soul.

Usually I spend my alone time, at night. I relax alot then, the house is quite because my son is in bed. In the morning and afternoon, I am a busy person, running between housework, my son and trying to sit down for a minutes peace, usually by 8pm I am more then happy to get my son off to bed so I can relax and unwind, before I sleep.

I like spending time alone when I'm reading a book because I really want to concentrate and feel what I'm reading. I also want to spend some time alone if I'm in a difficult situation or when I'm angry cause I want to cool down first before dealing with anybody.

I like to spend my alone time on weekend mornings (but not too early, mind you). I usually like to spend them reading and when it's nice out I like to spend them reading on the deck. It's so quiet at that time of day and it feels good to spend some time with only the company of a good book.

I enjoy it more in the evening, after they are in bed. It is my wind down time. I can actually relax for a while.

I like to be alone if I'm running errands or want to go shopping. I feel that if I do these things with someone else it will just slow me down. I also like to be alone when I'm PMS'ing. lol. I get overwhelming feelings and emotions that no one understands so I would much rather be alone during this time.

Usually I enjoy spending time alone after I get home from work. The longest time I can enjoy my time alone is evening when I have no work. I would be sitting at my computer surfing the Internet to interact with my friends. That is the fun time for me to be online. I can always stay online till at least around twelve at night on weekdays. On weekends I can stay online to enjoy my time till more than one in the morning when it is so quiet and good for thinking while mylotting. lol.

I like my time alone at night- When the house is quiet and everyone is in bed- This is when I catch up on things online- movie watching- etc. But only once in a while- I usually go to bed when my sig. other does- Also on weekends- it is good to get some alone time- When my daughter goes to her dads- and my sig. other is busy outdoors or working- I get a lot done- Online- or cleaning- or watching the shows I have DVR’d.
I love alone time from time to time- and really anytime I get it – it’s a big plus- as long as it is not too much time.

I like alone time either late at night, or early in the morning. I feel like I get some of my best online stuff done in the morning, before my son gets up. He usually sleeps until around 9 or 10 am, and I love getting stuff done before he gets up. Then I can clean a little bit while he eats breakfast.
I have insomnia pretty bad sometimes, too, though. Like right now. It's almost midnight, and I went to bed at 10 pm when my son and husband did. But I couldn't sleep, so I got back up about 5 minutes ago. I decided that if I wasn't going to be sleeping anyway, I might as well get some stuff done. That might mean that I miss my morning time tomorrow, but I will get some time tonight, so it will be worth it.
My husband gets up at 5, so I do, too. If I stay up too late the night before, sometimes I go to bed after he leaves for work.

I think that my alone time is normally early in the morning and I usually just enjoy the quiet time. Sometimes when I let the kids go to neighbors to talk and play, I am alone so that I can work some here. It is nice to have the uninterrupted time here.

Hello beautyqueen26,
I am a night person. I like to spend time alone at night doing things that I love. I find it calmer, more peaceful and quiet at night. I don't like disturbance while doing my work. Whenever I do something at night, I can concentrate more.

when im reading, reflecting, walking and thinking about my life, i love being alone most of the time, i could go where ever i want to go, its not bad to have company sometimes , but i terribly want and desperately want to be alone in my room while trying to get some sleep after a day's work.
