I’m up later than i planned to be, was playing quizzes online, and after climbing into bed amd getting out my tablet to waste more time in front of a screen i got a sudden wave of nostalgia, comfort and joy washing over me and thought "huh, i guess that’s why i alwaya used to push my bedtime to its limits!
But i haven’t gotten that feeling for the last few dozen times i stayed up too late. Just felt tired.
Wondering how it is for other people - what’s your relationship with late nights?
I get woken up a lot in select evenings, right after i’ve gone to sleep, by inconsiderate people. Started to use noise cancelling headphones even though i don’t like wearing them that much. But the brain feels so much clearer when you have the white noise on.
Gotta love this sort of inconsiderate people… /s
I hear ya. Sometimes the same happens to me, the whole day except at late night. (“Inconsiderate people” in my case includes the neighbour who owns a dog, who LARPs as a rooster, waking the neighbourhood up. She’s just barking by the way, 6AM now, still translating stuff.)
I tried noise-cancelling phones once. I hated them. To the point I’d rather deal with the noise.
