Night Owls

MuslimSister โ€”

I've always been surprised at posts that I read during the daytime that were sent at 3/5 in the morning.

Worst culprits are Admin/Noor. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Now that I'm on my xmas break and not getting up at 7am (and therefore not in bed by 10) I too find myself up till 12/1...its so not good for the system...and I hate getting up at 10.

So, to all you night owls. Do you only stay up late cos you have nothing to get for in the mornings?

All owls to post in this thread...lets collect a list of night owls and award the poster who posts here the latest.

(Getting up for fajr and then posting here is not acceptable)

[quote="At 3.08am on Friday morning Ya'qub"]its the same with snow flakes.

but i have no time for such frivolities, I have work 1st thing in the morning and I'm not even sure how/why I've stayed awake this long.[/quote]

I can't believe I had less than 3 hours sleep last night, had full days' work on both Thursday and Friday, and I'm still wide awake(ish)!

Does being online at this time count as being a night owl.

If so, I only do this on rare occasions.

Tonight I can't face up to going to bed because I've just been out for a curry and will most likely have a bad night's sleep.

Plus, I bought 3 newspapers today and haven't read them yet.

The Guardian, Independent and Times actually. I bought the Time for the sake of balance.

Might do the same tomorrow.

The others I wouldn't waste my money on. That's why they have them online.

Hey! I am certain you should use the word "Alleged" before that! ๐Ÿ˜‚

A couple of days ago i spent 6-8 hours trying to see if i could find the relative availability of the php function "iconv" vs the extension "mbstring", their weaknesses and strength.

End result? Some people(well servers) have one, others the other. Some things iconv is better at, others mbstring. Really productive use of time.

im normally awake until 2/3am - because its the only time i can concentrate & get work done without getting distracted

semester just gone i missed most of my morning lectures because i went to bed at 3/4am, i cant do the same next semester because im on placement

I cant sleep late if I got work...when I do I end up being a cranky teacher with my class all morning. I get them to do something boring like, write a story in absolute silence and dont even think about leavng your seat/talking to me...unless its a emergency.

Ya'qub โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 00:52

[quote="MuslimSister"] something boring like, write a story in absolute silence [/quote]

i used to LOVE doing those!!

my stories were wicked, i loved sleepy/cranky teachers!

i've never been in bed before 12. it would be weird for me to be in bed that early. on a college day i'll probably go to bed at 1/2ish.

now thats its the holidays, i sleep at any time, my family loves movies (they're down watching something now!). i'll wake up for fajr, stay awake for a bit and then will go back to sleep and will wake up just in time for dhur!

i really need to sort out my sleeping pattern, i have missed so much college because of my sleep!

Do I win a prize for it being 4am?

If not, why not?

You โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 04:33

Because you should be in bed!

MuslimBro โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 06:07

When I haven't got uni I usually watch tv programmes online or play games until fajr time then go to bed.

When I've got exams or courseworks to hand in I also stay up all night.

Got to wake up @ 11am to do our weekly shopping.

Noor โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 14:53

went to bed at 5, was fine waking up for fajr but waking up for dhur killed me.

Funzo โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 17:22

Do i get a prize for having the most undreadable posts.

Noor โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 17:26

Now that i have dropped out of uni and im technically what you call a bum i go to bed most days about 12/1. If im reading a book (recently i spend a lot of time reading my sisters trashy novels i dont know why) i will be up till 3/4. I force myself to get get up about 11.30/12ish. I always find it really hard to get up on weekend to go to work and spend the best part of the day yawning.

Snoopz โ€” Sat, 29 Dec 2007 - 21:26

dunno how you can sleep til 11/12 even if i sleep 2/3am im up before 10.
