To Be Or Not To Be...that is the question
|
To Be Or Not To Be...that is the question No, this isn't about Shakespeare LOL I could never get into reading Shakespeare because I never understood what he was saying. Same thing about parts of the Bible. Not that I'm comparing the two! Anyhoooo..... To be a Night Owl or not to be...that is the question... Sometimes I do have insomnia and on those occasions, I have no choice but to be a Night Owl. And I embrace my insomniaciness. I am fortunate in that I am not working right now so if I am up until 3am, I can just sleep in a little bit. I have insomnia about 2-3 times a month. So, I can, most of the time, force myself out of the Night Owl status and become one of the day walkers again. The problem is this: I enjoy being up at night. I would enjoy it even more if I had a window to look out into the black of night, see some street lights, house lights, open the window to hear the rain, hear a barking far away and, eventually, watch the blackness lighten up to dawn and slowly, I am not the only person on the planet who is awake. I used to have such a nice, big window behind my computer but now I don't....I do have a window in my bedroom where my computer is but....long story...I have to keep the shade closed....no, get your minds out of the gutter, it's not cuz I am a nudist LOL One of my most favorite photos I've taken was a result of a night of insomnia. Back when I had that big window behind my computer....I saw the streaks of the sun rising in the sky, in the clouds...so I grabbed my little Panasonic Lumix, ran upstairs to the roof of the apartment building I was living in, set my camera on the railing and started taking pics of that beautiful sky as a backdrop for Mount Rainier to the south. In about ten minutes, the color show was over. I also like to chat in the rooms in the wee hours of the morning because ppl from the other side of the world start coming into the rooms....it can lead to some interesting chat unless all they are interested in is getting a female to join them in IM for some<b> sexy chat. </font></b>Unlike American men, right? LOL There are a couple of things I don't like about being a Night Owl....first is that I live in a three bedroom nice apartment with my and his wife....great arrangement really except I am always afraid I am going to wake them up when I have to leave my bedroom to avail myself of the main bathroom facilities in our apartment. Or get something to drink from the kitchen. So far, they have not said anything. Second, and most important...I also like the early morning hours. I really don't like sleeping in until 10 or 11am because I was up until 6am. By the time I wake up, half the day is gone. Yes, it is true in that I don't actually lose those hours....my 'day' is just extended into the night hours....it just feels like I have lost those hours. To be having my first cup of coffee and bowl of cheerios and milk at lunchtime just feels....wrong lol It also means that I have to get right into doing my household chores because my (who works full time) and my in law (who is a full time student) will be home about dinner time and I need to have my chores done by then. I don't want to be cleaning out the litter box while my prepares dinner lol They probably wouldn't care, but I do. And on the weekends, when I am getting up at 11am and they have been up for several hours, I feel like the roles have been reversed lol I am the lazy , sleeping the day away...I fully expect my and his wife to say something to that affect but, so far, they have not. So....do I force myself out of this sleep/wake cycle so that I can, once again, join the day walkers or....do I let my screwed up inside clock stay screwed up and just accept that my day begins at noon? To Be Or Not To Be....that is the question Read RESPECT WE all NEED to do Better and Re Petition to Stop Transsexuals from Using Female Profiles |

Cool/interesting post. I can’t get through Shakespeare of the bible either. The only time I go sleepless are full moon nights or when I have a certain thing on my mind that I can’t shut off. “Insomniaciness” is that even a word?  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Living under someone else's roof so to speak is never easy. Even when those you live with love you and want you with them and never complain or make you feel uncomfortable. The need for your own privacy and territory allowing you to do things you would never do living in someone else's home ... such as wearing or not wearing, listening to, talking and singing in a way and manner unbridle or just dancing by yourself in a moment of glee, feeling free with no constraint or boundaries ....( these our things and freedoms I enjoy living alone with two k-9 daughters).... again.... so to speak can cause someone to lose their cycle of sleep causing insomnia. Your sleepless nights can and will be lessened when you find that quite space and territory called a place of your own. Please take this in a positive light I mean no disrespect nor am I making judgment on your present living arrangements my comment is rooted in my own life experiences I've been in that place where insomniacs roam the night. Wish you all the best...
