I cannot remember how many wakeful after 4 ams I have had in my entire life.
When I was young, I would stay up so late to finish books that fascinated me no end. My mind would be lost in places I would like to travel to one day soon.
When I was in college, I would stay up late to study for exam, or stay over at college mates to stay up late to practice for presentations, performances etc. During college I also had a job in the theater that made me stay up late, that I would be home as late at 2 am. The adrenalin would not ebb for at least an hour before I could finally settle and fall asleep.
When I got married, I would be up late reading, or watching television, after I got home from work... trying very hard to not let my mind dwell on how lonesome I felt.
When Piet and I were still living apart, we would stay up so late online until we hear the chirps of the bird from outside our respective windows, our eyes comically blinded by the streaks of rising sun streaming through them.
Now, I am still up after more than an hour´s talk with my cousin R, finally talking about what was bothering me for weeks (I spoke to Piet about it, and to Guitar Hero too, but it felt different talking to someone outside of our home).
I wanted to write about what we talked about but 10 minutes into writing this blog, my mind is finally empty and ready to sleep.
Another one of those wakeful night after 4 am...

Well Paper, I'm just happy that you were finally able to release it to the right person so that it wouldn't plague you. 4ams can get rough after a while, 2ams especially for me .. that's the point where I've got to decide 'OK, this has gone on long enough, I need to get sleep.' or 'Screw it, I'm already up too late!'. Hope you slept well. ((((HUG))))) -

Even on night when I "can't sleep", I'm still sleeping at 4 AM in the morning. I don't understand the whole people who can't sleep concept. I feel for you! I'd be lost without my sleep. -

I used to pull all-nighters to finish books as well. Only pulled a couple all-nighters for exams in college though. Nowadays I typically only have insomnia if I'm REALLY nervous about something - like a job interview, or a big trip. -

You know I grew up in a boarding school and we had to be in bed by a certain time as per rules. Me and my friends used to hide story books under our pillows and when everyone fell asleep we would read them under pocket torches. At times during summers we used to manage with the flickering street light streaming inside from the window. Its different though that the next day's afternoon classes would be hell lol. When we were even younger about 7 or 8years we used to play silent games so as not to wake anyone up and anyone who laughed loudly or made noise would be boycotted. Those were some days. Nowdays however its just me alone, writing or simply collecting my thoughts late at night before drifting off to sleep. -
