Usually when I stay up late it is because I have things to do and there are not enouogh hours in the day. I know for a great deal of people the night time is their "hangout" time and that may be the only times them and their friends are free. Personally, at night is when I do my best thinking about I am able to get the most done because I want to go to bed.
I stay up very late because I simply cannot fall asleep at night. I am considered a "night owl". I cannot fall asleep just like I cannot wake up in the mornings. I always feel most energized late at night.
I have always been a night owl. I do my best work at night. For some reason I stay more focused and alert into the early morning hours, before I can wake up early and study. Especially being in college, nothing really happens until ten at night; therefore, my atmosphere also plays a role in my desire to stay up later.
Staying up late for me is a habit. I usually stay up every night unitl like 4am. It has always been hard for me to sleep. I will lay in the bed for hours and I still will not fall asleep. I usually play video games or watch television until I fall asleep. Then the next night, I do the samething.
I stay up so late because I have to do homework for college. Sometimes I literally don't get to sleep but this is not by choice. Sometimes I stay up late in college doing other things but I try to monitor my time the best I can and get enough sleep. College requires me to have a better sleep schedule than I do during the summer. Often during the summer I stay up late and then sleep in because I have more time to myself that way. I am a night person - I am more awake at night time. I actually get more done at night (that I want to do) rather than trying to do things during the day when there are so many distractions. I just enjoy an odd sleeping pattern, mostly because it gives me more freedom. Now, if I want to do things with other people, I know it will probably have to happen during the day and I allow time for that. If it is just work or fun individual projects I tend to like to be undisturbed.
I stay up late because it has become a habit where I cannot sleep. However, there are the other times where I stay at work late (since I own the business) or have other things for classes needing to be done.
I'm an RA, so I have to stay up late when I'm on duty. Eventually my body just gets used to it and that's when I get tired. I also stay up late because I didn't have time during the day to do what I needed to do.
I stay up late because I have classes all day and tons of homework. Night time is the only time I am able to complete my homework and study so that I make good grades
Like many other people I stay up late because it's what you have to do in order to get everything done. If you have work and school and other organizations you are involved in you have to work hard until you get everything done that is needed, even if that means late at night.
Staying up late has always been a part of my life. I have had trouble sleeping since I was a freshman in high school, so it is nothing new for me not to be able to sleep. Since I began college staying up late has just became a normal part of life to get everything done & caught up from the day.
I usually stay up so late out of habbit since coming to college. The reason being is usually just because I can or that I feel that I wasn't able to have very much time to myself to just relax a little while because of the busy day. I use that time, regretfully even sometimes, to just wind down so I am able to go to sleep easier.
I'm just a night owl. No matter how hard i try i can never seem to go to bed early unless I'm really tired. Also, I procrastinate on homework so I try to do it at night before it's due the next day.
My late night life is because of my very busy schedule. Any college student who also plays a sport is going to have to get used to staying up late to get things accomplished. Daniel S.
I like to stay up late and watch movies or do homework. My brother likes to stay up late as well so we hangout Watching scary movies. Also I don't like missing out on memorable moments like, late night talks with friends on the hall in the dorms. I gives me more bonding time with people and there is always something fun happening late at night like, dueling with Star Wars swords.
I stay up late because I am always trying to do or finish stuff that I did not have time for during the day. However, it has become a habit, so even when I don't have anything to do, I just can't go to sleep early.
I normally stay up late because I get off most nights around 10 or so and still have stuff to finish for the day. I stay up to work on homework that I have procrastinated, do laundry, and sometimes just to sit up and watch television. I can't go to bed early because my mind won't let me, I'll remember something I forgot and then I'll end up staying up later than expected to finsh not only the remembered task but also random others.
I stay up late because I either have a lot of homework that I still need to get done or I can't sleep. If I am doing homework or studying I never stay up past 1 or 2 am because I can't focus. Otherwise Its usually because I just can't fall asleep.
I dont stay up late much but when I do it's because Im usually enjoying the company of good friends and dont want to give it up, even though I know I will pay for the drowsiness the next day.
For whatever reason, I just cannot go to bed early. I can get up really early from staying up late the night before and still not go to bed until 2 or 3 in the morning that night. I am more alert and awake at night than I am during the day. I wish I was more of a morning person, but unfortunately I'm a night owl.
I stay up late because for whatever reason I just cannot make myself go to bed early. I can stay up until 3 in the morning, get up early and still not go to bed until 3 AM that night. I sometimes stay up late to finish homework or study, watch TV, play on the computer, socialize with friends or family, but mostly because I am more of a night person. I have never been an early to bed, early to rise kind of person.
I like to stay up late because I either can't sleep, i'm really excited about something, a great movie is on, i'm playing solitaire or doing a word search, or i'm social networking. Also, I will stay up late if I have a test to study for, a paper to write, or homework to do.
I have always been a night owl. I stay up and do pointless stuff like watch Netflix or TV all night. This really comes back to bite me in the morning because I wake up around 6 am daily.
I usually stay up late when I have homework or when I want to hang out with my friends. Occasionally, I am not able to spend time with them during the day, so the night time is the only time to hang out.
I typically end up staying up late because I put things off until the last minute then I am forced to stay up to complete the things I did not get done. Sometimes I am just extremely busy in the day and have to stay up late to get things done, but typically it is do to my own procrastination.
One reason I like to stay up late is because that is when my favorite shows come on. Another reason for me staying up late is because during the day I like to hang out with my friends during my free time and just relax when I actually get the chance, and I play softball so after my classes are done I have to go to practice, which doesn't give me time to do my homework until later that night causing me to have to stay up a little later.
I focus best at night when most people are sleeping. It finally gets quiet in the dorms or at home so I don't have as many distractions. I like to be up late because I feel like I can have time to myself to think over the day's activities or what I have to do for school. It's a relaxing time for me.
Because there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything I need to do. I work full-time and take a full class load. Late nights are often the only time I have available to do homework.
I stay up late because I have irregular sleep patterns and am oversensitive to sounds so that I cannot sleep earlier. I am also more alert, can concentrate better, and get more work done at night.
I work best at night while it is typically quieter. Would much rather stay up late and sleep later the next day than go to bed early and get up early. I am not a morning person.
I have always had problems falling asleep; so, it takes me some time to fall asleep. Since I have been in college, I have had to stay up late to finish assignments and study for tests.
I stay up late because I work an average of 45 to 50 hours a week, have grandkids and I am in school. I just run out of hours in the day to get all accomplished that is usually needed done.
I am by nature a night owl. Between working full time, school, and being a father often night time is the only time i have. I get most of my work done at night, and it is typically the only time i have to myself.
I have a terrible time sleeping due to night terrors and just anxiety in general. If I stay up, it postpones a possible bad night of sleep. Plus most people our age hang with each other late at night since most of us have different work schedules during the day.
To hate myself next morning... The majority of the time the reason is something stupid on my phone or notebook. During the school year, homework or work does not let me to go to bed early.
Either I cannot sleep, I have a bunch of studying to do, or Netflix has me hanging on for that one last episode. Unfortunately this happens way too often.
I am a night owl so staying up late has become a habit. I usually do it in order to catch up on things that I cannot do during the day, study/homework, or to just watch TV and relax.
I stay up late usually because i am hanging out with people or just because i dont want to stop watching a show. If i dont have to be up the next morning I'm more likely to stay up too.
