I don't know if other mylotters also feel the same, i supposed of going to sleep since i still have work tonight but i don't know why i cant do it, it like i keep on telling myself that this topic will be the last then after done with it i got interested with the other topic again and respond to it and then there's another topic comes up in my mind and just realized that i am now starting a new topic again. Its like i cant stop it. Maybe i become addicted to mylot again Did anyone is the same too i mean if they are doing something online even not in mylot and they keep on saying that this will be the last then all of a sudden we forgot about the time and we can just realized its already 2 hours past after we promise our self to stop it.

I have the mylot addiction from time to time. It shows me that I have something that is consuming me in a way I need to be careful of. I just need to exercise mylot control sometimes. When it comes to sleep, you need to get a certain amount of that. If mylot cuts into a healthy habit such as restful sleeping, mylotting can become an unhealthy habit. One may need to take a look at that and set up a mylotting schedule perhaps.

I have to put myself on a mylot schedule so that I can attend to my home based business. My time is taken up by both. It is very convenient to have something like mylot to be compensated by. It really is a good way to spend spare time.

I used to be so addicted to mylot before when i don't have work yet as it also help from getting bored and the same time i can earn from it even just small amount of money but at least it help to pay my monthly internet bills, though i was gone for more than a year here due to i already started working then got back again here just for few months ago since my baby and mother went to the province for vacation and being alone specially during my rest day is like crazy for me so i rather want to be busy here in mylot or facebook to the point that i can hardly stop it.

Oh, that's my problem too. Actually, I slept late awhile ago. I only had 6 hours sleep. LOL. I guess that's already enough. I want to myLot now. I can't stop myself answering comments on my own discussions or commenting somebody else's discussions. Some topics are really interesting and I can't just let them pass without commenting them. You are not alone. I hope you still have enough sleep though. It's not good to be sleepy at work. LOL. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

When I am online surfing the web usually on Facebook or something I always come back to mylot and check to see if there's any new topics to respond too before signing off. Sometimes I check again before going to bed as well. I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it just yet but getting there LOL. I been on it more in the last few weeks then I have in the last year but I guess I've just had more free time on my hands since I've been sick and that's why I've had more time and plus this week I'm on vacation from work so I have even more time to be on here. But I'll be pretty busy again starting next week so I probably won't be able to get on here as much. But I still get on for a few mins each night before bed. Hope you can get some sleep so you're not tired for work and keep on mylotting just don't let it take over your sleep.

I love to cook, but sometimes I am at mylot and also boiling potatoes and I end up with baked potatoes and a burned pot. I know what you mean: mylot is addicting. For me it is specially important because I live alone. Mylot and my friends here keep me company besides the things I learn

That's sound funny to me I dont really get to the point that i forget something specially if im cooking though my mother used to be like that specially if shes watching her favorite tele novela in the television its like i was up stair and i can smell the cooked rice and when i called her attention she was just like nothing happened and we are just laughing. Shes doing it many times already so i guess shes more addicted to television than me hehe

Hi, I have all my hi-tech gadgets right in the bedroom, LCD TV, stereo system, refrigerator,DVD player, cellphone and yes, the computer system with its peripherals. Once, a friend remarked that my room looks like a flight control center with all the buttons, monitors and blinking lights. But take note, if I say it is time to bed, it's lights off and I mean the whole room goes dark at two hours before midnight, all the appliances plugged out except the fans and the ref. Its all a matter of looking at the clock and sticking to the item as scheduled. I have acquired this habit since I was in college where time is always tight, when I feel the whole night is not enough especially when deadlines loom at seven in the morning.

Wow your like living inside you room maybe your room is big that's why, though having the ref inside the room is a good idea specially if you also love eating coz you can just grab something from it if your busy doing some online stuff than go out, I also sleep if i really want and im not always doing this everyday, just during my rest day and seldom with work days.

If health is not good then how can work in mylot. I also face this situation but with in few days my health is not good and pay the 500 rs to Dr. so my husband annoyed on me say why you are always think about mylot mylot and mylot ehehe...

Since I got my smart phone and can be online anytime I want mylot has taken over my life ahhhh lol. I really dont want to get off the internet I want to stay on mylot the rest of the night as well but I really have been on it nearly all day in between doing other things of course and I need to shower and get to bed soon so I wont be too exhausted tomorrow.

I guess its more addicted if im doing it in my phone though good idea though coz i can do it while traveling back and forth which i spend more than an hour to work so at least it helps but it will be costly to me coz i don't have free internet in my phone so im just contented doing it here with my laptop.

If it cost me money to use my phone to be online then I wouldnt do it and would only go on from my computer as well. I have a smart phone and I pay $47 a month for it and then I can be online as long as I want. I can send as many texts and picture messages as I want as well as receive them and also send and receive as many calls as I want. Its great.

This happens to me all the time. Not only on mylot but when playing games on facebook. I will look at the clock and say just fifteen more minutes and it ends up being thirty minutes or more. The computer is and addiction that many people have. However, I love mylot so much that I'm ok with having this addiction because I feel people are here to help each out. I just have to say though you need to get up and walk around every fifteen to twenty minutes to avoid bad circulation in your legs. Its not good for your body at all.

That's mylot addiction I know the feeling, I have been there and until now I can't get out from that addiction. Sometimes I feel so sleepy but I just can't stop and leave my friends when we're starting to have a good inter-action through mylot topic.

That's true specially if the topic will interest us and we cant stop looking at it and read then we just realize that we are responding to it already.

I find myself doing this a lot sometimes, but when it comes to sleep, I don't go that far (sleeping on the keyboard can only feel good for so long). There are some times when I need to do chores, or homework and I find myself saying that this is going to be my last post, or my last tweet,or comment but I just keep on going and going. I find that my mom and my sister, and even my grandmother gets fed up with me doing it at some point. I think that I need to set up some kind of alarm on my phone telling me that I need to stop and get on with my non-virtual life.

No I don't have that problem sounds to me you are addicted. I scheduled my time there is a limit to everything since I don't have that much time. I try to respond on 10 discussions daily. I wonder what you will do if you really have lack of sleep, which will happen sooner or later. Do all the hours you spend here give you any profit at all?

Its not about the money since i also have regular job but its about being busy reading and responding specially if the topic interest me, specially if im bored if im alone and nothing to do during my rest day, Though im not doing it everyday like i wasn't here yesterday to share my thought to other people's response.

Hi, You are right. I also feel restless when I can't work on mylot. It is like addiction of mylot. I enjoy discussions and responses on mylot. We can share our feelings and vies and thoughts with our mylot friends. I don't work on any other site other than mylot. Enjoy mylotting.
