What do you do when everyone else is asleep?

After 10:00pm, when my son has gone to bed, is one of my most favorite times of the 24 hours. It's been 3 years since a long and painful divorce and custody fight ended, and the euphoria of being my own self and comfortable in my own house still reflects in my rose-colored glasses. Well, rose-colored bifocals. I was told that no matter what the circumstances of the divorce were, I would inevitably have a let-down period of self-doubt and regret; a kind of post-traumatic stress wake-up call. Never happened. Now, at night in my little house, I can do whatever I want without sarcastic or demeaning criticsisim. I can surround myself with books and magazines, watch TV, work or surf online, eat what I want when I want, friends can call any time, and of course, walk around and sleep naked, if I choose to. The night is the time that I just naturally shine the most. I am more of a nester than a gatherer, and looking around knowing every choice of what surrounds me was mine and not being submitted to comment by an obsessive compulsory man with anger issues, still feels as though I've reached my destination and someone has taken my backpack off of my weary shoulders.

I'm sitting in front of the computer till my drowsiness come,and then I go to bed.

I have been staying alone throughout the day as my parents go out for work and m all alone in the house...During this moment i enjoy surfing the net,chatting as there are no restrictions njoy listening to loud music...have fun around with friends at home...when everyone in the house is in bed..i do study as i find it comfortable studying at night rather than studying in the morning and yes do go on net for some sort of time passs....

I love being by myself when my husband is sleeping. It is the only time I have to myself, so I do things I enjoy. Mostly working on the computer, like posting her ein mylot. I never sit and post in mylot when my husband is up. If I do he is looking over my shoulder and reading what I am posting here, and I don't like that since I am usually posting complaints about him. lol I also work on my reading my emails for money, or I am working on my blogg. So when I have time alone that would be my answer, work on the computer.

I am the person who sleeps first in the house. I cannot sit up in the nights for anything. I have to have my eight hours beauty sleep. I can never sleep in the afternoons. So when everyone sleeps in the afternoon I am on my own.. I can do whatever i feel like doing then..

I'll either be still on the web or doing some reading or watching TV. The night time is great, it's just so peaceful and serene..

well im still in bed even if i cant sleep ..and try to fall asleep...usually i concentrate so that i will not think of anything..and also done praying until i havent notice that i had sleep and it works..

When I am awake and everyone else is asleep, that is party time for me. This is when I love to be on the internet and do Mylot, read and do all the things that I can not do when there is too much noise. I fight to stay up most nights to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Sometimes I move laundry around and dishes, but usually I veg. I sit in my recliner with the remote and my laptop and I watch something I have saved on the DVR. I like to enjoy 2 hrs of ME time before going to bed. Sometimes I chat on the phone with my sister. But mostly I like to enjoy the quiet.

When everyone else goes to sleep in my house I watch my shows that I have recorded on DVR. I can watch them in peace. Its so nice and I really do enjoy it lol. In fact both my kids are taking a nap now and thats what I'm about to go do so I can catch up.

To start, highflyingxangel, there IS only me, lol. I do much of the same type things you do to entertain myself. I love playing games on my pc, I can watch movies on it or on my DVD player or VCR(yes, I still use it), and I also keep a supply of good books to read when I am bored from doing other things.

I've always been a night owl and I love the early morning hours. It's never a lonely feeling time for me. I like to read. This time of night is always a good writing time for me. I'll work on my latest writing project. Sometimes, though, when I'm blocked, I'll surf the net or watch meaningless TV.

hmmm.. Well with five kiddos, I tend to be exhausted when everyone else is asleep. Most nights, I just pass out. Some nights, I stay up and read for a while, or work on a quilt, or watch mindless television... My hubby will either be working on his fantasy sports or playing online poker or something.

hi angel, I actually could stay up way later than I do. My husband really likes me to be in bed with him though. I guess he likes to snuggle. But before bed, I actually usually come on here and try to catch up. I don't think I will ever be fully caught up. I also download music while watching a movie or tv show. And sometimes I do my bible reading. So when I'm in bed hoping I will go to sleep soon, I start counting sheep and imagining them jumping over a fence. I think the monotony of it is supposed to put you to sleep. Or I will pick up a book and then I'm instantly tired. lol Crosswords same thing. And I like doing those things. And then sometimes I am just lying in bed til my husband's alarm clock goes off, which isn't too ofen thankfully. B

I usually get on the computer and catch up on things. If there is something on tv, sometimes I will watch it. I try to stay quiet so that I don't wake anyone up.

That so very rarely happens in my house! lol! I go to bed at 11:00 each evening and hubby usually stays up to watch the news. He gets up and is out of the house by 6 a.m., and I get up when he's leaving to get the girls up for school then I get ready for work.... so it's very, very rare that I'm even in the house alone! Maybe once the girls get older I'll have some time alone.... lol!

I get up quiet frequently in the middle of the night. It happens at least 3 to 4 times a week anymore it seems. I have started to view those early morning days like work hours. I work from my own home, so when I have the peace and quiet, I sit edit photos, write Articles, research marketing venues etc. If I get stuck I sit with a nice cup of coffee or tea and study one of my books on drawing, marketing, taxes or indulge and work on my pagan studies.

That's pretty much what I do but, after a certain time I trun off all those things and try to consentrate on sleeping because,if I don't I'll sleep to late the next day and I perfur to sleep at night. Also staying up late will make you really tired the next day because you miss part of your sleep the night before.

Hi highflyingxngel, I usually write, I find that it's a good time to concentrate on what I want to get across to my readers. Blessings.

i mostly do my work on the internet late into the night and sometimes i just want to keep awake to watch a movie.depending on what the situation is.but mostly its on the net searching for opportunities
