r/NightOwls

I know there's still some summer left but I'm starting to get excited about autumn nights and winter nights. Summer is my least favorite season. I don't do the best in heat, and also I live near the water so night time can be humid bug havens.

When it cools down I can take my late night walks again. Everyone always balks about it, but I simply think it's the best. I used to have two pitbulls and would almost exclusively walk them late at night, they are both gone now.

Winter nights are my favorite when there is snow on the ground. It brightens the night in such a lovely way I think. The drifting snow sparkles I think in the moonlight. I love to walk to the lake when it's frozen over and just sit. It's like everything is standing still and I can relax.

I don't go out much during the Summer so I'm super excited for the cooling temps.

What's your favorite season for night owl activities?

I love night time it gives me freedom and peace it feels like me like the actual me not the one who**’s I’m pretending to to survive at day time but i can’t help but feeling lonely and desperate for someone to call or chat with it’**s makes me wanna sleep it of so strange like whenever I try to contact with someone the minute they respond I almost immediately shut off and like wanting to ignore them though I want to talk to them

I know a lot of us stay home, but I’ll be honest that I feel a little lonely at night. Do any of you find comfort outside of the house or have somewhere to go? If not, what do you do to entertain yourself if you’re not working?

what’s your current sleep schedule and how do you navigate having to deviate from it for appointments and stuff? Mine is usually 6am to 2pm

I've had this my entire life, but i never had a name for it - my sleep shifts later and later, until an all nighter, crashes, repeats again.

Non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder (N24SWD) is a rare circadian rhythm disorder where a person's internal biological clock fails to sync to a 24-hour day. Instead, their sleep cycle typically runs slightly longer (e.g., 25 hours), causing sleep and wake times to shift later by one or two hours every single day

1:28am thought.

I'm a 23-year-old man. I have some sleep problems and insomnia; I can't sleep well.

It’s been 3 hours since someone posted anything so thought I’d do it, it’s 1:20 right now where I am.
What are y’all doing right now ? what’s really keeping awake.

I have 2 close friends who are morning people and they only ever ask me to hang out in the morning. I do understand they may have busier lives than me but I cannot completely change my biology and drag my ass out of bed to hang out with them in the morning every weekend. It's just not happening.

It's especially frustrating because they've both known me for at least 20 years and everyone knows how terrible I am with mornings. I get that we're 40 now but they're suddenly trying to contain our friendship to mornings.

On top of this I've been really sick all summer due to many chronic illnesses and long COVID making it worse so there's no way in hell I'm getting less sleep to accommodate their sleep schedule. Even on my birthday my friend wanted to take me to lunch and we agreed on noon. Then a week later she messages me, see you at 11 am tomorrow right?! I was all irrited so I was just like, "11 am! No way Jose! I'll see you at noon." And honestly noon is pushing it, I'd rather not be meeting up with people socially before 2 pm so I'm already majorly compromising for them.

I'm ready to sit down and have a talk like do you ever hang out with people in the afternoon?? Or evening? Like are we 70?? What has happened to you guys?! Wth is with morning people I'm at my wits end!

so, recently i keep having these weird nightmares that are sort of bizzare? i can recall one, so basically, it started out with me asleep, when i was suddenly shook awake by my mom and she told me there was an infection spreading and we should go to see if any of us tested positive for it, outside the sky looked like wrong, like a pastel teal color, more green than blue, and there wasnt a sun, so, my brother tested positive for it and suddenly he just like exploded, not like with fire, just like burst, and thousands of salmon pink bugs just like crawled around and one jumped onto my face, then i screamed in the dream and woke up in a sweat

any ideas why im getting these nightmares?

I’ve always been a night owl. When I finished high school I worked retail and was always on the closing shift. Then I joined the business world and started a 9-5. Just recently I started a new job where we can choose our hours. Thinking of changing my work schedule. I WFH 3 days a week and in the office 2 days. I am currently working 6 am - 2 pm. It’s sooo hard to wake up and get to the office by 6. Last week I switched to a few days of starting at 7/7:30. What a difference that 1 extra hour of sleep made! I have hard time falling asleep let alone at 8 pm to be up at 4:30 am to get to the office by 6. But if I go into the office later I’ll hit so much more traffic on the drive home. Plus trying to get to the gym for a 4:30 class. My husband works 5 am-3pm and sometimes even 3 am-3 pm. I could never. But he’s ready for dinner at 4.

So… if you can't sleep at night, it's quite annoying, right? Or what do you think? Is it something interrupting you?? Or just that your brain or body can’t rest yet?
Anyone can't sleep at night, but it's not their intention to keep waking up.

Any solutions or suggestions??

Thanks very much

Anyone hereeee? It's 1am here ): can't sleep

I just can’t sleep. I’m looking on my phone on insta YouTube even market it place and I’m bored. Too tired to sleep and idk.

I want to talk to new people but I don’t want to also.
