5am?! oh wow! that is really unhealthy! I surf around 10 to 11PM, and then I go to sleep. I don't like feeling sleep deprived the next day so I try to get more sleep as I can. Surfing can really be addicting, but I try to check myself so I won't do it till the wee hours of the morning (like you!) Hehehe! I'm just curious, what do you do during the day? I mean, if you stop surfing at 5am, then what time do you go to sleep?

Take it a little at a time, and I think in time you'll soon get used to it.

I actually stay around a total of 18 hours a day on my computer, more or less. :) Most likely, MORE. :D I guess it's because I work from home, so everything I do, work or play, serious or for entertainment, has to be done from here. :) http://scribbles.whats-hot.org

It depends on how long I stay up, usually. But I would say I check the Internet at least until midnight most days. But I don't sit in front of the computer for hours in a row either, so I have not noticed any effects on my health so far, to be honest...

Wow that is way to many hours for me, I think you really need to call it some type of a quits, that is definitely not healthy. Normally I tend to be online during the evening hours, after I have completed my chores and children are off to bed, my normal routine is go online between the hours of 9PM to 11PM during the week, usually I call it a quits before 11PM. During the weekend I might stay a bit longer depending on my plans, but the most I will online at night is no more than 2 hours, that's it. I personally think you should try and cut down a bit, that is definitely not healthy.

I just cannot believe this! You are just like a carbon copy of me! Indeed I do stay until 5, just like yourself...I will only go to sleep (or rather pretending to) when my mother wakes up for work...She will always giving lengthy lectures about health when she caught me not sleeping...But, her lectures will always fall on my deaf ears...^__^ Nevertheless, staying up late at night does not really affected my health, and I hope it does not...I am still active during the day, but somehow I cannot sleep and night, hence using the computer...I do not think it is insomnia anyway, because I will sleep easily when I am tired...But, I will try to change this habit anyway... livecenter

For me it depends on the day and what I have going on the next. On work nights I always try to be in bed by 11pm, which means I'm off the computer by 11. If I don't have to work the next day I may stay up a little later. Some evenings, when I'm feeling tired, I am off the computer by 9pm! It's different on a daily basis for me!

Well, before when i was addicted to online games i'm up until 4am due to insomnia so i have to do something to tire my self. But now my longest time in facing computer is 1 hour or less. I do now pay attention to my health and i don't wanna stress my eyes that eventually I'll regret( I don't wanna wear lenses).

I am online until I get home from work. I'm fortunate that I have so much free time at work that I can be online most part of my working time. But if it's time to go home it's goodbye to MyLot. It's time to focus on more important things like actually having a real conversation with my son about how his day was. Anything done in excess isn't healthy. So follow your mom's advise and take some sleep.

I sometimes stay online till upto4am and sometimes I go to sleep at about 11.00pm It depends upon how interesting the things I do are! It hasn't affected my health yet. I even stayed up all night a few times when my friends were home and we were playing games online.

Internet certainly is very addictive with so many interesting things to spend time on, including myLot. As soon as I get back home from work, I go online, and start surfing. MyLotting is one of my favorite ways, and I stay online upto midnight. I have to go to bed by midnight to be able to get up earning in the morning, and get to work on time.

It all depends i can stay on until 2am sometimes but mainly i surf during the day but its so easy for me to be online for 8 hours a day.

Most nights I am on here till about 11:00 PM, but it really depends on how tired I am or what is on TV. If I get off the computer to watch TV I usually end up falling asleep on the couch and I usually don't get back on the computer. Some nights I will stay on till 9 or 10 and then go to bed, that is if I am really tired.

well, I usually online for 10 hours a day. But it's because of my work. I think the problem is not staying in front of your computer for long, It's because you stay late till 5 am. Maybe you can try to change your online time so you don't have to stay late past your bedtime.
