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?
A very complicated and toxic relationship.
The other night I stayed up until 4am. Why? Something meaningless drew me in and kept me going until I realized “holy shit, it’s morning!”.
Sleeping had its own thing. Don’t force it or it rebels against you.
