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?
Years of staying up late to finish projects when i was a student in design school wired my brain to be creative between 10pm and 1am
If feels great because i enjoy having my brain explore new ideas, but also i kind of wish i had a more “normal” schedule
Ah I actually don’t want that for myself. At the moment i find that i end up doing producive work at 10pm-2 am and i hate it, so i’ll train myself to never be up this late again if that’s something that happens
