I'm sure that this has been discussed many times here in myLot. And I don't know if it's the right category. I put it in 'enjoy life' because in some point, staying up late can be one thing that I enjoy doing.
For me, my main reason is work. My shift is due 12mn so I get at home around early 1am. I will not go to sleep right away. I'll probably look for food in the kitchen, check my mail and/or view updates on Facebook. When I finally hit my bed, I'll stay for an hour or two playing video games on my PSP.
I know it's never healthy to stay up late. Even if you're getting the right amount of sleep, if it's not on the right time, it has effects on health. I'm not sure, though. It's just a guess.
Anyway, feel free to post your own reasons and if you enjoy it or if it's necessary (like mine) or if you're just a case of insomnia.
Happy myLotting!

I always stay up late as my children do not go to sleep until late.I tend to come on the internet to try to earn a bit of pocket money as i am also unable to go to work.I find by being on this site it is like talking to people and having a bit of a social life aswell.I have tried to go to sleep earlier but now i think that my body has got into a routine so thats why i can not sleep earlier.

earning some money when you can't get yourself sleep early is something really productive. it's a good thing that there are websites like myLot, where we can still have our social life and earn money at the same time.

When I was in college, staying up late was one of my habits. Most of the time, it's because of homeworks/projects/thesis. At times I just could not sleep before midnight. But now that I'm already home and working, I get sleepy by 10pm. I think it's a matter of lifestyle and accustoming one's self to a particular time of sleeping. Oh, and I almost forget to mention that staying up late is one of the reasons of my acid reflux disease because, according to my doctor, it causes stress. So now, I make it a point that I get to bed either at 9pm or 10pm - no more sleeping beyond midnight.

Actually, I am really up during the night because I am on a night shift. But during my rest days, I also end to stay up late because I often check my facebook and check the discussions here in mylot. We also watch movies during midnight.
