Night owl
Is there a difference between Insomnia and just not wanting to go to bed until the wee small hours of the morning?
It’s not that I *can’t* go to sleep, if I was to put head to pillow I would more than probably drop off pretty quickly. It’s that I don’t feel like putting the head on the pillow in the first place!
I’ve been a ‘Night Owl’ my whole life, ever since the first time I was able to stay up late. Of course the flip side to this is the morning after… As has been admitted to in previous posts, dragging my carcass from the horizontal to the vertical is nigh on impossible REGARDLESS of the actual numbers of hours slept.
Not sure if this is just a latent psychotic streak on my part or just some sad loner lifestyle. There is something to be said for seeing the ‘virtual ship in the night’ when you notice others are also up; the sudden appearance of a facebook update and then silence afterwards, the ping of an email, the flickering of someone coming onto MSN (and then off again just as quickly).
More than anything tis just a time to reflect, chill out to some music, update a website, do some coding… and watch others wander darkly through the internet landscape.. See you all tonight?
