How many of you stay up late night? Why? There can be multiple reasons. Some of you might be addicted with a certain game on your computer, Xbox 360, Playstation 2 or 3 or are you the type that parties until the early morning? Some of you might be in Las Vegas in the casinos gambling like no tomorrow. Ever had issues of not sleeping? What about those bags under your eyes?

Two things will keep up until late at nights - watching movies and studying. If I am working on the computer I can only do a small amount because the eyes then begin to hurt but movies oh wow! I will stay until day break then do my house work have a bathe and go to sleep.

Hello bluemestizo A good book or a good woman is about all that keeps me up late at night these days. Sometimes, I will also stay up late online, but the other options I mentioned are preferrable. How about for you?

Back then I used to have insomia that I find myself having a hard time in dozing off, so I looked for other ways. But now, it seems that it's returning. Not only because of mylot, but I am now enjoying and killing time on playing my playstation games. I also am kept awake by dvd movies that we bought, I watch all of them especially when I see the movie very intriguing.. Luckily, my eyebags are not that big to worry about.

MAN i KNOW about bags!! i have bags under the bags under the bags on my eyes! And the thing is the more i TRY to sleep the more droopier my bags get! I dont stay up late addicted to games or tv or anything for that matter...there are days i try to climb into bed as soon as i put my daughter to bed..i just cant do it.. my reasons lately are its getting colder now at night and my husband usually isnt home until late so i freeze at night time and i cant sleep if im cold. Im 7 months pregnant and it is impossible these days to find a comfortable position.. and when i finally do i have to get up and pee! Im in constant pain do to the babies on the siatiaca nerve and two of them crammed in my rib cage on occasion! theres more im sure but those are just the main focus points as to why i cannot sleep at night

I have always been more of a night owl, than a day person. I used to work nights and I can't seem to break the habit of staying up. I have gotten better and try to be in bed by 2:00 am, so that I can at least wake up to get my son off to school. I like to read and now that I have a computer I am on that a lot at night. I know that I should get more sleep, I'm sure I would be a more pleasant person and would not have bags under my eyes, but I can't go to bed by 10:00pm. I read, and play on the computer and clean after everyone in my house is asleep, it just works out better for me.

Hi Bluemestizo! When I was studying at the Uni, textbooks kept me staying up late, till probably 3 am in the morning. Now, it is Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, and myLot. LOL. For eyes bags, get a eye cream. ;)

I am a night owl. And unless I have a pressing matter like work next day I stay up late at night. Its the best time to get stuff done. We are moving, so I am going through boxes. However, sometimes I just stay online too long and watch tv too much. Reminding you this is our first time having cable had it almost a year so theres always something on to watch. Plus my newest tv addiction is a show called "animal precinct" its kinda like animal cops. Its really good and interesting and sometimes sad to watch. It comes on the animal planet weekend nights 10pm then again at 2am. I almost always miss the first one so if I can stay up till 3am to watch I DO. Or I record it... :))

When I did stay up late, I'd be playing a game online called Eve Revelations II (found at eve-online.com) or playing games at BigFishGames.com, or writing articles for myLot, Helium or Associated Content. I've also been known to read until the wee hours of the morning or watch movies. I rarely watch television, so if the television is on, it's usually on for just background noise. I'm a very young 40 and I am in a rehab facility recovering from congestive heart failure. Since I've been here, I've been given medication to help me sleep so I don't see any late nights in my immediate future. But when I did stay up late, that's what I'd be doing.

I stay up late night sometimes because of my work and sometimes just for surfing on the internet

Surfing keeps me up all night. The downloads are really taking up much of my waking time. The eyebags?? Thank God I don't have those really black ones, I have chinese features so eyebags don't go that way..:) I just got my sleeping pattern normalized. Nothing beats a good NIGHT sleep.:)

hello, bluemestizo. I did not stay up last night, but I want to participate in your disscussion. I and my roommates advocate good sleep for skin from 23:00 to 1:00 the next day. So we sleep early usually. But these days because of all kinds of reasons, we cann't obey this. There are blains on my face and the bags under my eyes are remarkable! From the day before yesterday it is our 7-day national holiday, they all go back home or travel, so there is only me in the dormitory and I sleep early. How comfortable! If there are not things too important for you not to sleep, have a rest early! After all, it is better for your health to lead a regular life, right?

My home business keeps me up late as I love what I am doing and I am so excited about building the business that I can't sleep most nights. LOL
