Lately I stay up to watch the Olympics. I am especially interested in swimming because it makes me feel so excited. When I watch it, it seems I can learn a lot from it and probably I can swim fast now

Unfortunately for India, all the swimming action is pretty late in the night. So I need to stay awake to watch it. So I only end up watching some of the swimming action. Cheers! Ram

I stay in the southern part of India. The power outage happened in the North of India. So in essence we were not affected by that. Cheers! Ram

I heard that few days ago there was no electricity in India, I hope it would not give you a big effect.

Swimming, diving, gymnastic etc.. China will dominate it, I know.(^^) Lately I stay up not just to watch the Olympic but also watch some other variety program which I watch online. For the olympic, there are still more games to watch and I am waiting for them.(^^)

In fact I think Australian and American teams are also very good at swimming.

I stay up to build my city on cityville, my friend got me into it, and I am hooked, its so addictive, I have to wait for my energy to build up then I can work on it, build it and watch it grow. There are other Facebook games I have go into they are time consuming and the time flies. Some times I don't get to bed till 2am or 3am in the morning. I get so carried away.

To my shame,I can't swim though I have lived near the Yangtze river since I was a child.I am not interested in all sorts of sports competitions,but care about how many gold medals we win in Olympic games.

Few weeks ago we went to have a travel in Hainan and a traveler was quite surprised to see that my son could swim. I told her that here most of the children can really swim well

It is great for you to travel to Hainan.I have been to ZhanJiang.You know,I travelled round on business before retirement.Your son has had a good upbringing.He has learnt to swim at the age of 7 or so.

Watching Olympics games brings a lot of fun to everybody.:) Even my boss got tired when he got here in the office because he stayed up late to watch Olympics.It's ok as long as your work is not affected but the problem is you will feel sleepy the whole day..:(

I tend to stay up on the computer, to try and make a few extra dollars, or else I'll stay up studying, or just doing something that is on my mind. If i can make a buck, I'll stay up another hour. LOL As toe the olympics, I didn't have the patience to sit around and watch sports for two weeks.

I'm taping it tonight because I heard the U.S. men won a relay gold. And there is another reason, but I don't know if you've watched it, so I don't want to give away the results. Let's just say I want to see a certain winner's reaction after they win a medal. I do enjoy the swimming. I just wish I could swim at all! I mean I can swim underwater, but but up top like normal people.

Last night I didn't watch the swimming game because I was so tired already. I had stayed up for three days

Well, I will certainly admit that I am sitting up late tonight watching the Olympics because of the fact that I am a sports fan and tonights primetime coverage was absolutely packed with some super good events. However, I have to admit that the reason that I stay up late most of the time is because of the fact that I like to have a little bit of quiet time every night before I go to bed and that means that I pretty much do need to stay up later than the rest of my family. Of course, school is going to be starting soon and that does mean that I will be able to have some quiet time during the day while both of my children are in school.

Oh, you must be a sports lover. Maybe boys are much more interested in sports than girls, right?

I am watching the Olympics right now. I'm enjoying the swimming and the gymnastics both. I stay up late while I wait for my husband to get up for work. His alarm starts going off at midnight but it's usually at least 1 am before he gets up, and some nights 2 am. I'm tired of it...actually thinking of setting myself up a bed in my craft room. With his alarm going off every 10 minutes and as noisy as he is when he does get up, I can't get to sleep until after he leaves. Marsha

I stay up because it's quieter and there are fewer interruptions for me to just do what I want online. I don't have to answer to anyone and I don't have to worry about someone coming to the door or calling on the phone. I can watch television if there is something I want to watch on or I can play online with Facebook or Facebook games or answer my emails that I didn't get to answer during the day. Sometimes I do laundry or the dishes because I'm more in a mood to get them done when it's quiet than I am when so much else is going on. But, I won't watch the Olympics. I do not like watching sports.

When I "stay up" recently, it means going to bed at three or four... Going to bed (as of the last few months) is midnight, usually. Unless I'm absolutely exhausted. Staying up involves reading a good book, playing a video game, or just not being able to sleep for me. The not being able to sleep is a lack of comfortable positions to sleep in. With an eight months pregnant belly, it's VERY hard to get comfy.

I stay up to watch the Olympics these days especially for the shooting and archery,I love those games very much,though it will not good for my health for stay up and perhaps will make me feel tired when I go to work tomorrow,but I still enjoy it because the Olympics just come after 4 years,if I miss those game I have to wait for another 4 years,so was the world championship of football.
