I'm 20 and think it's one of the most pathetic things you can do, but this isn't a common opinion at my age

What is the appeal to it instead of going to bed at early getting up early and having it be light most the time you're up?
huh?
Why do people do it?
Lack of self control, lack of structure in their lifestyle, lack of foresight, lack of responsibilies. Having been one of those people who would stay up til 5 am playing video games, I can say those were the general reasons. I think if you're 20 you'll know a lot of people like this, I didn't really have a healthy regular sleep schedule until I got a full time job after college.
I can sleep on Sunday. Sleeping when theres shit you could be doing is stupid.
So there's basically no "pros" to it?
Thanks
>he likes the sun
>he's on Jow Forums
Fuck we're normie as fuck now, what the fuck happened?
Just as long as you don't pawn off '10 AM is early!' on me. There's also people who work later evenings (assuming you even work) and so their schedule would be shifted ahead.
As for 'pros' or 'cons,' other than really needing a bit of sunlight for actual physical health, it's not like day and night are super different. Commerce has grown and you're still able to get your milk and your eggs at just about any hour anyway, as long as you're not in Bumfuck, Nowhere.
I think it's just a new style that's getting traction and reception.
and what the fuck is the point of this stupid thread exactly?
To bait replies exactly like this out of posters exactly like you, I'd bloody well wager
I don't know why people do it, and would like to know why.
Why would this be bait?
>Why would this be bait?
Because it be like that sometimes.
I know what you mean
people treat you like a manchild when they find out you prefer to go to bed at 10 PM and wake up at 6 AM
it's ok though because they'll look like leather bags by 30
They don't treat you like a manchild, they just realize that you're a self-righteous cunt.
>Why would this be bait?
I have to remind myself you're 20 and too young to be initiated in this shit, and you're a normie to boot.
i hate sunlight and dealing with people
I am extremely successful and driven, and this helps massively to keep it up
I like staying up late because it’s when the vast manority of people fuck off, and I can enjoy all the benefits of living in a developed/populated area without any of the noise and bullishit of human activity.
I dislike it because it’s bad for my productivity and probably my mood, and it causes me to miss sunlight. So, I could take it or leave it.
Because fuck you I'm not a morning person
t-t-thanks
Because not everyone has a morning job, dumb wojakposter
I am a student.
Third shift reporting in.
To me, it works well to work at night and sleep during the day.
Ok:, you're mature and responsible (even though you're apparently not smart enough to understand why other people would want to stay up late, which isn't exactly rocket science).
Happy?
Personally I have a hard time focusing and relaxing when other people are awake around me. Around 12-3am when everybody else is asleep I feel a sense of peace and calmness. I am trying to get my sleep schedule on track though because staying up late is unhealthy and hurts my productivity.
What's considered late?
Biorhythm
I like being alone. Everyone's sleeping, hardly anyone's outside; if things are really perfect rain is ticking on the window, and I'm just sitting in front of some paper/my computer doing some drawing/programming in peace. It's nice and cosy, quiet, at rest, etc. Then maybe at 4 or 5 AM you go to bed and when you wake up the regular world has started again. I'm not some neet so I only do it when I have the next day off and even then don't do it often.
What's the difference between going to sleep early or late?
>wastes the daylight hours
We have electronic light
>inconvenient when planning basic things like shopping
You can go to a shop in most towns all around the clock (if not, most of the time there is a gas-station that is on 24/7)
>just shows a general lack of self control
Who decided what the "normal" waking hours are?
Before we had electricity it was the sun. Back then it was logical to say that he has 'no self control' or is a 'lazy person' because they ACTUALLY couldn't do anything at night.
NOW it doesn't matter because we have electronic light and you can do almost everything at any time.
Long story short: anyone who says stuff like 'you are immature cuz you stay up late' is just a self righteous cunt.
>We have electronic light
Not op but it's not the same, at all.
Maybe if you're a dipshit who doesnt take his flintstones.
>Long story short: anyone who says stuff like 'you are immature cuz you stay up late'
From my personal experience, it's not wrong.
Lots of reasons but for most young people it's because they like the nightlife and the freedom to move about the city pursuing their degenerate pastimes under cover of darkness.
Wrong wavelength/ kind of radiation. Also electric not electronical.
It helps keep tomorrow away just a little longer.
"I'll take 'what is the night shift' for $100,Alex'"
You sound like a parent who’s tidy widy’s are a bit too tight. Who the fuck cares when someone goes the bed?
>everyone else is asleep
>night is very comfortable
I have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder because of my ADHD. Basically it means that my circadian rhythm is fucked and my body doesn't start producing melatonin until 2-4am. I have no choice but to stay up late. Trying to adjust my schedule to the morning is the equivalent of you trying to adjust your schedule to the graveyard shift, and requires medication to knock me out.
Just how people are sometimes. I'm just glad I live in a place where people and places are awake and open late. Living in a small town where everything closed at 6pm was hell.
Also I would like to add that your circadian rhythm also changes throughout your life. Kids go to sleep early and wake up early. Teenagers have their sleep schedules pushed back so they typically start to produce melatonin at 11pm, meaning it's natural for them to go to sleep on or around midnight. As a younger adult, you tend to shift earlier again. As a senior, you tend to shift later again. This is natural biological tendencies.
Naturally there's going to be some people who are outliers, exceptions, or edge towards the extremes. But these are typical for the average person and reflect ingrained biological tendencies.
>said biological tendencies twice in a row
Look at me making myself look smart.
I stay up late because I prefer it the nighttime over daytime.
Its generally cooler (I live in a hot area)
Its quieter
Less people about
Less distractions, so increased productivity
That being said, I usually aim for a 2am bed time, 8-10am up time.
I think you are just caught up in the social norm of it all and you're too young to comprehend that other people are different, it doesn't really mean anything you mentioned.
Honestly I just like the night. Good for listening to music among other things. The real question is why as human beings do we still need sleep. Goddamn it, imagine if sleep wasn't necessary. I wish it was at least not as demanding so we could enjoy the full day more.
Why is OP a faggot? Like, I just don't get it.
How the fuck have you never heard of people having different circadian rhythms? This is basic shit dumbass, jesus christ.
The most likely reason why I stay up late is probably because I have some sort of mental or emotional problem that I need to work on.
Part of it is because I want more time to do whatever it is I want to do. When everyone is asleep is also when I feel like I don't have to think or worry about anyone else and it's just me. Even when I'm with my wife and we're playing videogames together I feel like we're totally free to stay up super late and do whatever we want because no one else is awake.
Honestly it's terrible because I feel tired all the time. I KNOW I would be happier if I went to sleep earlier and got at least 7hrs of sleep every single day. On the weekends it just catches up with me and I end up up staying in bed until like 12 and missing a large part of the day. It's a vicious cycle, too - I'm sure the fucked up amount of sleep (and the timing of it) screws with my mood and just about everything else which in turn feeds my depressive tendencies and anxiety, which leads me to keep staying up late doing nothing productive.
I tell myself it’s because I’m not tired, or that I can’t sleep because of stress and thoughts which is true, but not specific enough. It’s really because I don’t want to reflect on how completely retarded I am, the humiliation is unbearable, I couldn’t take the steps to fix myself, so I became addicted to the internet.
Just wasting my life, trying to come to terms with living like a pathetic lonely retard has proved to be near impossible, so I wonder how much more I will dissapoint the people in my life.
Don’t be a faggot, kids.
It depends buddy. I work 2nd shift so I go in at 3pm and get off around 1am so I'm natutally awake at night
Part of my job is working until midnight or later? A lot of people mostly live at night ffs
Planning everything is obnoxious, if I need something in a moment, that's when I decide to do something about it. Following a rigid schedule is utterly arbitrary for my life since I work from home. Also my circadian rhythm is naturally attuned to being awake at night, and I hate how busy shit is during the day. Interesting stuff happens at night and is more beautiful when the stars and the moon are out. I like being alone, and I hate schedules, and regardless my circadian rhythm is different than yours. I also work my ass off, people who stay up playing video games are irresponsible, so it's different than that.
these
Society is centred around the 9-5. Us ubermensch anons ignore the arbitrary time schedules of society in place of our own. Also mama can’t hear me fap then
I used to have this stupid circadian rhythm of a night owl. General wellbeing improved after I made some lifestyle changes, now I only go to sleep before midnight. Sometimes at 10. Otherwise I feel like shit in the morning, drowsy, with a headache and can't do shit that day. I used to feel like shit before too but I was a stupid, lazy teenager. Now I wake up with the sunrise and general energy levels are definitely better. I even look better (+ better active lifestyle, exercise, diet)
you can literally change your own circadian rhythms. So obviously everyone has different ones.
1. I enjoy the night.
2. Claiming it wastes daylight hours is like claiming that sleeping at night wastes nighttime hours.
3. There's shops that work 0-24 h, one right across my road works 8-22 h, how is that inconvenient? And why the fuck do I need to "plan" shopping?
4. I don't need to sleep the full "normal" amount of hours if I've been up half the night, I can just get off on 3-4 hours or sometimes I'll skip a whole day of sleeping and stay awake for 2 days so I can study extra.
>Can someone explain the appeal of staying up late?
Viewing softcore porn/series reruns on late night TV?
But I work to rehabilitate drug addicts/people with mental health problems.
When they are addicts/have issues they will stay up later or even become nocturnal and nap throughout the day.
People who have their shit together will wake up early to get ready/go gym, they will have prepared tomorrow's things before the end of the day.
Nobody is in the gym at 5am, if you get that done you have the whole day to do whatever you like.
