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?
My sleep schedule is notoriously messy (e.g. 3AM here, and I’m translating stuff), so it neither drains me nor it gives me dopamine. But it helps me a wee bit because of the silence, I guess.
