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?

    Late nights are necessary for teens, because adults control their entire daytime. Night is when they have privacy to engage in what they actually enjoy doing. As an adult, you can do that during the daytime, so you don’t need to exhaust yourself.
