I did something weird again!

I slept early yesterday, around 8pm and woke up at 12 midnight. Normally when this happens to me, I couldn't make myself to go to sleep again. So when I woke up, I washed my face, boiled some water and made a mug of Milo for myself. I took a few magazines that I just bought few days back and started to read. Nothing seems attractive and I switched to read a novel after that. But it seemed that the right mood for reading was just not there. I stopped reading after a few pages. I was sitting on the sofa alone, in the dark...staring at the ceiling and the fan...been thinking what to do next. I stood up and went to my computer room. I took a piece of paper and a pen and started to jot down my grocery list. It is almost end of the month and I need to do my shopping soon. Once I finished, I read it back and amazingly, I jotted almost everything : things that I need and things that I really don't need! I felt really bored that I stared at the blank monitor for few minutes. Then, I decided to be online. When I checked my e-mail, I saw few new responses to my discussions and new discussions started by my friends here. I wasted no time and started to respond happily. When I looked at the table clock, it was 3.30 am and I decided to get some sleep. I still need to go to work in the morning. I was lying down next to my baby. I tried to close my eyes but I still couldn't sleep and so I started to look at my baby, kissed him and touched his face, his nose and his mouth. When I think that I disturbed his sleep too much, I stopped. I started to think what I should do the next morning and what kind of day it will be... Out of sudden, my mind kept telling me about my new discussions here. I started to draft my discussions in my head : one after another until I fall asleep. As usual my baby woke me up in the morning when I started to feel his tiny hands keep touching my face and he loves to lie down with his head on my stomach. It was 6.30 a.m. I felt a bit sleepy this morning and unfortunately it is going to be a long day today *smiles*

Ok, you are weird *laughs*. I am kidding! I actually woke up at 3.30am last night but I insisted of going back to bed even though I was feeling wide awake. It's the bank holiday here and I plan to do a lot of things online, so I forced myself to sleep and have a normal day today! But you are surely a night person *smiles*. I think I will be turning into that a few days later when I don't really need to care about schedule, time and date anymore!

Hello wondericequeen, Thanks to the days when I was still studying at the local university here, I used to stay up late till wee hours. I still get used to it but sometimes I just couldn't cope with being 'sleepy' during day time *laughs* I still need to work and do the house chores...in fact I love night time as it is more peaceful, quiet and I have a lot more ideas during that time *smiles*

Yes I agree that the night time is the best. When it's quiet like that, I feel so much energy inside me and I want to write and stuff. But wait till I am so done with this job first, then I might appear during odd hours!

Yes, that has happened to me also! And I hate it, because it messes up the next day schedule! But It's something that stays on my mind, and I don't address it or solve it, that makes me get up in the middle of the day, even though I know I have a full day tomorrow! What helps me the next day is, I don't eat, or I eat very light foods, or very small meals, and it helps me get by!

Hello musicman6, I have more weird act than this. Whenever I wake up in the middle of midnight, I will start to do the house chores. Just recently, I don't know why I always fall asleep earlier than usual and then wake up around 12 midnight or 1 in the morning. Normally I won't be online but I am running out of time. I won't be able to log on too often by next week!
