I know there are many of us here with very different patterns of work, sleep, etc. We are all from diverse countries and lifestyles but I am sure we all share a lot of things in common as well. There are many of you here who are quite active here. Some more than others, and I am sure there are times here you spend a lot of time even when you should be doing something else.
But I wonder how many times there are people here who are in here posting and trying to catch up some when in reality it is cutting into their sleep time, or they are almost falling asleep at their keyboard and Computers while posting here. Maybe it is trying to get that last post in even though you have to be up in less than 6 hrs. as well.
I know I have done this many times, even when I am exhausted just trying to make sure I post here even, and in reality I have often wondered if it shows, or my responses might be lacking as well?

It is not only just mylot, but also with some other things when it is time for me to sleep. Now it is time for me to have an afternoon nap, but I still decide to read mylot and try to find some discussions that I can respond to. Now here I am with this response. You know, it is a habitual action when you are used to it and you simply couldn't miss it before going to sleep. That's why I have the same feeling as you mention here. Happy mylotting and take care, friend.

Yes, I am sure many people find themselves continuously when they are not able to sleep coming in here and posting for a bit, and then feeling a little more calmer and relaxed because of it. What better place to talk with friends while learning something about yourself?

I do it all the time! I promise myself that I will shut the computer down and get some sleep but I have dozed off with my laptop on my knees on many occasions. It is a problem actually because I don’t function at all well during the day due to sleep deprivation. I have no idea how to change this...

I am continuously falling asleep here in front of the computer at night when I get home from work. It does not matter what I am trying to do anymore it just happens. Would be nice if I could pull myself away before this happens, but there are times that this has happened almost immediately when I get home. But if I am posting in here instead of sleeping even if it makes me tired the next day, it is always worth it.

When it comes to my sleep I trade it for nothing in the world not even myLot!
Even when I have house guests they will be left to amuse themselves with whatever they can lay their hands on - may be the tv, books, music while yours truly will retire to her cozy bedroom!

Wow!! Even when you have guests you will head off to sleep and leave them to themselves? If I is late I would do that, but only if I was tired. But there are many times I have been on myLot posting in here when I should be sleeping but it just really also depends on the mood.

As I used to be busy all day because of my study and games,so I came at night to do mylotting.If I could not login in mylot,I can not sleep.I cut my time from sleeping and spend time here.I used to sleep 8 hours a day.But for mylot,since last two month I sleep 5/6 hours.Otherwise there is no option to me to be active in mylot.Though I love mylot and like to post here.

Yes, between this site and some other things I am doing online it always seems that I am sometimes wanting to cut into my sleep time by being online. But anytime I am feeling stressed especially I come in here to myLot to post and even when it is late at night when I really should be sleeping, it is worth it. There is nothing better for stress than here.

Hi KrauseHome,
I can only type a few hours here at mylot because i have other things to do also. If it is time for sleep, i shutdown my computer. I cannot anymore go on using the computer. That is why, my points here build up slow. Anyway, i just enjoy while i have the time here at mylot.

Well for me it really depends on what is going on as if I take the time to post in here like I want, or I decide to get some sleep. There is a lot of times I have given up sleep when trying to meet certain goals but it also depends on the amount of FREE time I can be here for sure.

Many times it has been this way for me too. There are many times I am here late into the night posting in here when I should be sleeping. But since this is a Great place to be it is definately worth it for sure.

With me, it's more like I can't sleep so I get up and check in with myLot to see if anything interesting is going on.

hi tina oh my being here as cut down drastically on the time I used to spend on mylot and of course I earn less, but here and I really think this is not kind they make us retirees get up at 6am for breakfast as 7am. I am not a morning person. when I was in our own apartment I often stayed up til 2 am then went to bed and rose at nine as I was newly retired and had no job to hurry to. now I go to bed at the staid old time of 10 pm to toss and turn for several hours. I never went to bed at ten before I came there, I fell asleep at my keyboard here twice , smashed my face into it and got a black eye lol lollol oh my that got me a lot of laughs ev en my own primary care doctor laughed at the reason I had a black eye. lol lol
Tina your responses are great so don't worry about it.

I feel bad for you Hatley... I used to work night shift in a nursing home, and we had a bath list.. about 20 baths had to be given... we had to start getting people up at 3 AM for showers and then get them up for breakfast.

I have to say that there are certainly times when I do mylot when I should be sleeping. It's something that I know that I shouldn't be doing, as I should be in bed, asleep, but at times, it's something that I can't really help but do. I just have so much fun being on mylot that sometimes I can't help but stay up late and spend time on mylot. I don't know exactly why I do it, I just do. Mylot can certainly be a little addictive at times.

Hi Tina! 
I usually get to bed when it is time to do so not really cut into my sleep for myLot. I have only a few times not been able to sleep and either I am reading and or will come on and post a bit. I try not to do so at night when I should be in bed, mainly because I probably would not make sense. lol
I have had trouble from time to time sleeping and opted to come here but after a few postings my brain cannot function properly so I really try not to make this a habit.
I can see how some do this at night when they are suppose to be in bed, especially if offline work and or life is quite busy. Carry on friend and do not do it too often as you do have a very stressful job, in which you do need plenty of rest.

I sure do. I enjoy posting here though it might be not so healthy. What I'm thinking is that, if I'm not Mylotting then I'll surely be doing something else -something not productive. So, I'd rather post in here than to do things that doesn't make much sense. I'm a student, and its normal for me to be late in school. Mylot is not the reason why I get late in school, just me, enjoying my sleep even if I should be awake already. And I love the benefits I get here in Mylot. Aside from the earnings, it is where I can express my other sentiments in life.

Yes, that is a really good reason for wanting to be active here, and it can help get answers and such to many things in my life as well.

lol... nice question because currently I feel sleepy but I am still doing online stuffs like participating on mylot. Anyway, I guess sometimes this really happens especially when we are motivated to do something, however we should always remember that our health is wealth, that's why we should manage our time well.
ZzZZZ cya, gtg sleep now.

Well, yes I can admit that sleep is important, and will help with your Health especially when you are not feeling the Best and need time to heal. But it can also be a time for life itself to just be able to wind down and refresh yourself so you will be ready to face your day, when in fact, being an active member here in myLot can help in this way as well.
