Do you often stay up late to get work done online/or mylot?

I usually don't stay up as late as I would like to. But tonight I hope to stay up as late as I can and get more down. The night time is best for me to work online but it's also when I'm the most tired. Since I have been doing everything else most of the day.

I do stay up late normally to get a little work done. I don't always have time during the day time to do some work on mylot so I have to wait till my kids go to bed for the night to do so or till they take naps witch can be hard some days.

Yeah I understand what you mean. I set aside some time during the day to do some work on mylot and then whatever goals I have left to complete for the day I try to finish up later in the evening when everyone has went to sleep. Like right now I'm catching up on some post while my daughter is asleep and my husband is watching a movie.

It's hard when you got kids because they always seem to come first and work comes second. That is why I like doing online work because then I can do it when I want to do it not when others want me to.

Yeah that is the good thing about being able to work online. I just wish I was able to figure out a way to earn more so that I feel more productive. It's hard to feel productive when others are earning what I make online in one week plus some and then it's rubbed in my face. But I will keep doing my best with my circumstances.

I am working on staying late every night because most of the work that needs to be done on the Internet, in my time zone actually happens during the night, between midnight and four A.M. During the day I catch up with all the housework (I am currently unemployed) and after I put my daughter to sleep in the evening, I find the time to work online. But it is difficult since being up since 7 AM and trying to hold on until 2-3 AM will eventually get me sick. But I have no other choice, at least until I manage to find a job :(

Yes, that's exactly my hope, too. I am just tired of staying and working late for nickels. Good luck from me!

I completely understand what you mean. My daughter usually gets up a little after 7 in the morning. And then I'm up until I can't stand it anymore which is around 1-2am. It is really hard to do it that way and I'm sure it is unhealthy. But right now it's what I have to do given my situation and my life. I hope in time I can find a full time job where I can just go to work and that be it.

I cant join mylot after 10pm because after 10pm I prefer to watch the TV till 11pm and then goes for sleeping. You are right if more time join online work means feel tired.

It's nice to be able to unwind from our day and our time at mylot before we go to sleep. I'm glad to hear that you are able to watch a little tv before you go to sleep. Hope that you had a good night. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I usually spend most of my night hour surfing for dollars on the internet. I avoid going to bed because my internet plan ( subscription ) is cheaper in the night compared to the daytime. Since I paid for a night plan internet services I do everything possible to sleep less in the night and then do some real work on my computer. It is really hard to stop nature but I still take the risk even though it is not good for my health. One thing I like about the nighttime work is that the whole neighbourhood is cool and quiet away from the noise of the daytime since most people have gone to bed. The price you pay in the daytime is body pain, feeling sleepy during the daytime. But what will I do? I will just keep doing what I knows best even though it is not too healthy. I believe the best sleep we could ever get is the night sleep or night rest. It is so natural.

Yeah I understand what you mean about staying up and working online even though it's not good for our health. I hope that in time I will be able to find a regular full time job and I hope then that my schedule will allow me more time to sleep. I know that sleep is important but right now there are so many reasons why I need to earn more.

I have been a late sleeper.I go to bed only after 3 am everyday,but I don't do my online works then.I so my offline works instead.My offline works are reading my favorite books and writing articles for article writing sites.I write them on paper and then post them in the sites the next day.Writing an article and maintaining quality in it takes me hours and perhaps that's the reason why I have been a late sleeper.

Actually English is a foreign language for me.My mother tongue is Hindi.And as you know cery well how much a work it is to write a quality article in a foreign language.You need to be grammatically flawless there.Whatever I want to write,I first think it in my mother tongue and then try to get it translated into my mother tongue.Writing that way is convenient for me. Have a nice day and an exceptionally grand New Year ahead.

Well not really myLotting but with another online opportunity. Well I can’t blame myself on staying up late because I was overwhelmed and preoccupied on meeting up my workload deadline resulting that I need to put a lot of double time effort on it even if it means staying up late just to earn some decent amount. But in the long run, it did paid off because I get the pot of earning that I wanted and it was pretty much decent indeed.

Yeah it makes it even more necessary to stay up late when we have deadlines. Deadlines with different types of work is pressing. When we are setting our own deadline we have the freedom to be more flexible. I'm glad that you were able to get the pot of earnings you needed. That indeed is great.

I stay up late usually because I`m a night bird. But I don`t get up early so that my time at mylot is about the same. I would like to do more mylotting today and tomorrow though as I don`t think that I`ll meet reach cashout for just a tiny bit. But I did my family`s Christmas diner and that was a big job.

Yeah I agree I'am hoping to reach this month's cashout as well. I'm hoping that by tomorrow night I will have made it. I will know for sure when everything changes over. Taking on that responsibility is a big job. Hope that your day is going well.

stay late to do online activities is good because is quiet and you feel more relax to think about what you doing. but if you had a long day of work you might fall asleep quick. i usually work my regular job in the morning and do some stuff online at night, but i try to have lots of referrals so i don't have to do much.

I usually try to be in bed at 10 pm because I wake up at 6 am each morning except weekends. It didn't happened to me to stay up late for working on line, but I had many white nights because I had to study or finish projects for my school.

Yeah I can imagine staying up really late to get school work done or having to study for an exam or test. Getting up very early requires that we get our sleep the night before. I hope that your projects are going well.

Yeah getting up that early would require going to bed early. That way you are able to get your sleep and rest. Are you on mylot while you run your cafe? I'm sure that it all helps a great deal. So you are making more money throughout the day even while working at your cafe. I wish I could think of something more I could do that allows me to multitask and earn at the same time.

Well I do it sometimes but not more often. Personally I wouldn't recommend it s it could have adverse effect on your health. Work is better done when you are energetic and fresh not when you are tired. Rest is your decision. Still good luck for your work you think it is so important than your sleep at night.

Yeah there are a lot of responsibilities that we have as a wife/mother. I understand being busy with those responsibilities during the day. And by the end the day it can be very tiresome. Hope that things are going well for you and that you are able to get the needed things done.

Glad that you have found the middle of the day to be a good time for you. My daughter is usually awake during that time so I try to plan things with her. When she is sleeping in the evenings then I try and get more done. Generally that late everyone is sleeping but me.

I am a night owl and I find my mind comes alive at night. I am a writer and do find myself being most creative at night. Something about the solitude and quiet, I think. Even alone in an office or library sort of kills the vibe for me during the day--flooded by outside noises--but when the city sleeps, my mind is able to really come alive. I do hope you get some work done despite being tired!

Thanks. I was able to get the things done that I had planned for the evening. It is nice to have that quiet time to work. I hope that you are able to get a lot of your writing done in the evening. To be able to write well it is a good thing to keep other distractions out of the picture. Hope that you are coming up with new ideas often.

I stayed late at night during weekends when I don't have to wake up early. I always find time to post here in Mylot and that's also at night because our internet connection is fast during that time. It's New year's holiday now so i have plenty of time doing my internet works.

I'm glad to hear that you have more time to work online. I'm hoping to be able to get a good savings going so that my online earnings will actually help me more. When I spend my earnings fast online for things I would like to have now it actually is a hinderance to me. It makes me feel as if I'm really not making anything. So once I get my emergency fund set aside then I hope to spend less time online.

I used to stay up late when I'm doing online work. Once I turn on the computer and into the internet, it's like I can't stop working on it. I can stay up from pass midnight and up to 5 or 6 am. Sounds like I'm addicted to internet, isn't it? But, nowadays, I won't stay up late like that anymore. I'm going to bed as early as I can. I've got to take care of my health. Moreover, it can be very tiring staying up late like that.
• United States

I agree with you it is very tiring staying up that late. I'm still staying up really late but I hope that in the near future my schedule will change to where I can go to sleep earlier. I'm working to save my earnings. When I get a good amount set aside I will feel a whole lot better about going to bed early.

I do on the weekends. I think there is more work available than. I have to remember that most of the places I work for are not based in the US,so the time is different and when i am going to bed they are putting up more work! lol Have you tried doing maybe an hour a day? If you are sleepy the work may suffer

Yeah I understand what you mean. It often does seem there is more work being put up in the late evenings for me as well. I will have to set goals like that for myself. Thanks for the suggestion I appreciate. Hope that your day goes well.

No, if I am not sleepy yet, I stay at mylot, if I am I sleep. Sleeping is very important to me, so I guess, i won't replace sleeping from mylot. But while i am on line, I would be staying in mylot.

Yeah staying up past 2am is a long time. It is quiet and peaceful. I'm hoping that after I get an emergency fund set up for myself that I will be in a better position to work less on line. It is a struggle to try and balance everything. But I feel that once I know I have a good savings then I will feel less stressed and hopefully be able to spend more time doing things with my daughter.
