How late do you stay up

working on myLot? I find that I often find myself corresponding in real time with other myLot members who I know are at least 7 hours ahead or behind me. This means that either they or I are at the start or end of the day, sometimes different days. Now my body tells me that I need to have at least 8 hours sleep or I can be just a tad grumpy. Last night I went to bed at 2am and I was back on mylot before 11 this morning having woken up at 8. My six hours sleep are telling on me now and I don't know whether to go and get an hour's sleep or stick it out and go to bed at the normal time. Do you keep crazy hours too?

I am usually on mylot in the mornings I don't stay up very late as I have kids to get up with in the morning and get ready for school and drive to school and I don't want to be to tired to do that. Alot of people on mylot are from differnet countries so we are all on different times anyways you have to remember that too.

I stay up really late. Usually its due to my 4 year old daughter that doesnt like to sleep. I usually go to bed around 2-3am. Sometimes I dont wake up though until around noon but lately ive been waking up much earlier then that for whatever reason. So ive been losing out on a lot of sleep.

There's nothing worse than sleep deprivation. I would be a lousy spy, they'd only have to threaten to keep me awake and I tell everything.

I would never be crazy like that to spned that much time here on mylot. First reason is that i can't sit infront of the computer with my hands on the keyboard for such a long time.. Moreover.. I m not that crazy for mylot too.. i like to be here and i like listenign to people views but its not like a habit for me.. i didn't login last whole day.. Just bcoz i spent my time sleeping,watching cricket match or movies and spending time with friends.. I would come online when i m all alone or have nothing to do.. Come on yaar.. U cannot give away your sleep to b a mylot freak.. I used to had these crazy hours when i used to study while preparing for IIT entrance examinations or sometimes during my college exams or during my training at job where i had to study hard to excel in my training.. I would never do this for a facility which i can use at any point of time..

I'm not the type of stay up late. Usually I hit on the bed around 11 pm and get up on 8 am. 9 hours sleep can give me the full charge for the whole day. Sometimes I may be stay up late around 2 am or 3 am on the exam day. During this period, I often have 5 hours for sleep. Wheverever back to my normal life, I will compensate myself more time on bed.haha!

I like my 8 hours so I do struggle the next day if I go to bed much later than midnight. Staying in bed is good though.

Oh, groan, you're speaking my language now, p1kef1sh. Last night I stayed up till 2 a.m. talking on the phone and I couldn't manage to stay asleep past 8 this morning, and woe is me! Naps are generally out of the question for me, so I'm gonna have to just stick this out till tonight - but I have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow morning, and I'm just going to have to get myself to bed at a decent hour tonight. But I know alltogether too well what you mean about having that last peek to see if my PM has been responded to or if I've gotten another response to a discussion that I just have to see. And knowing what time it is there where you are, I tend to make myself get up and get posting just to talk to you when I have the chance. See what you do? You're irresistible, darlin, what can you do?

Yes, someone will have beaten you there, p1kef1sh. And as to those PMs, you'd do well to check yours. I'm grinning, and it's not yet Monday..........

My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky. Nova's calling me to her now, hurry there, fly. (Sorry Wordsworth). Naughty girl staying up so late. Wonder what those PMs said. I am going to have a look at Canada's post now, I bet I know someone that will have beaten me there!

That's quite impressive, but clearly not very good for you! LOL. Careful with the sleep walking.

i stay up too late at times, even up to 6am the next morning. i have tried it several times just being in front of the pc - but i do that if i have no work or have no where to go to the next day. it kept me busy during the night and asleep on the most boring part of the day - afternoon. :D

I am getting old now and if I stay up all night I just get very cross and a little sick.

I think initially when you are all crazed up about myLot, you can be so perked that you will oversleep. Trust me, I have had my fair share of late nights because of myLot. And sometimes when you are in the mood for typing, time seems to be passing so fast. But really, it is best incorporating myLot into your lifestyle rather than the other way. Have fun!:)
@p1kef1sh (45681)

I think that when myLot is your lifestyle then something is wrong. However, I have made so many friends here that it has become as sort of extension of my social circle. I try not to neglect my real life friends, or my networking board. No one ever said that it would be easy. Heh Ho.

I go to bed late almost everyday. But I seldom will stay up so late for Mylot. Usually it won't be later than 1am.

3 cities, 3 Landmarks - Yes, like the cities that never sleeps. I sleep late everyday.
Yes, like the cities that never sleeps. I sleep late to learn, unlearn, share and have fun online. I am always fascinated by how the internet is making the world move and run so fast and so awestruck amazing. Of course, having a sleep is still the most healthy act to consider. Health is wealth as they say. JNY

I hate that feeling that you get when your body is screaming to rest.

4-5 hours of night sleep is enough for me! with some relax in the day. If your routine and time management is good with good diet then that much time is enough. That's what I believe and surveys too ?.. Comments appreciated. enjoy :)

we are all different but I do agree that maintaing a sensible diet and routine are a great help. All things in moderation I think is the phrase. Thank you.

I am afraid that I would be completely useless with only 5 hours sleep. But if you can get by on that then that's fine. Thank you for responding.

Last night I was still typing away past 1am my time, and I've got to learn not to! the trouble is that it's so addictive. Each time I decide to call it a night & go to bed I either spot something else I want to reply to or else there's that little ping & a new comment or response lands in my inbox. At this rate I'm going to be exhausted before my first payment arrives, but at least I'll ahve had fun ;-)

Last night at went up at 7 as I was so tired from mylotting until 4am the night before (and some driving), but I took the laptop. Big mistake because I was still here at 11!

No. I don't think I can do like that since I know that I should wake up early to prepare my daughter to go to school in the morning. I don't want her to be late just because mommy wake up late.
@p1kef1sh (45681)

Indeed not. Your daughter needs her schooling. Thank you.

When I was a doctor, I always stayed up too late. Because I need learn more after work. At those time, my dream was just sleep whole week. But now, the latest time I go to bed is 23:30. If I didn't go to bed at that time, my husband would come into my room, and turn off my computer. Sometimes he looks like my father.:-) So everyday I only can spend 2-3 hours stick with computer. That's why I only can earn nearly $0.01-0.07 per day on mylot.

Doctors work so hard and long. I am always surprised that more of them don't become ill with exhaustion. Well your bedtime is enforced, but I have no doubt that a good night's rest does you more good than spending all night on myLot. Thank you for replying.

Insomnia is not a good thing. Try to relax with your eyes closed. It works sometimes.

Exams are on...so waking up and studying latenight is a part of life. But waking late night has a mist of its own with the the chirping insects noise and the snoring sounds. When it rains, you can hear the murmuring of water droplets.....it's all so cool and romantic.It seems darness of every night stores some mystifying secets and its shadows talks of a story of its own.

Good luck with your exams I know how hard you have to work to achieve your goals. I love your description of the rain. Thank you.
