Well, I won't bore you with the intimate details of my life but up until a month ago, I lived with my bf and luckily we both had the same strange nocturnal habits. Now, I live with my aunt again who is up at 6 or 7 every morning and keeps trying to get my times adjusted to hers. I can't break up with my aunt.

But, at least I don't feel like I'm the only person that just can't do the up-at-the-crack-of-dawn thing, thanks to you guys!

And why is it that every little thing I learn about Stevie makes me love her more? If only I weren't a straight female and she wasn't a huge, mega rockstar, we'd be so perfect for each other.

That sounds like my Mom! My mother comes into my room in the mornings on the weekends and informs me "It's Ten o' clock" at the top of her lungs! Can you believe her nerve? Every fifteen minutes she barges in telling me what time it is in a perky tone of voice and I just want to murder her!

Anyways, it is 5:45 AM here and the sun is starting to rise. Time for me to go to bed!

It probably doesn't help that the nursery usually keeps the lights on 24/7.

No, that's exactly what I've read about. It gets more involved, with the Mother's sleep cycle playing a part, but, yeah.

I'm totallt nocturnal, altho still upside down from yall on this side of the world. Last night I went to bed at 4.30am with the birds singing and dawn breaking and got up at 1.30pm. I hate mornings, I hate getting up early. I do not function well before 2pm anyways. I'm so glad I'm not alone in being out of sync with most of the world!!

Anyone asks, I'm just like Stevie Nicks, so there!!

I was nocturnal in my younger days.

Worked 3p-11p for years, woke up around 11am, went to bed around 2 or 3am. Loved it. Then I got a job M-F day shift. At first it was soooo hard to make the switch, but now I don't think I could change back. Now on weekends if I'm up until 1am & can sleep in until 9am, that's late for me.

)... feels so much more natural to me...

Exactly - I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one. Actually, I've tried to explain this to people - the whole "feeling weird" thing about those early hours. I guess people who are early birds, who love to see the sun come up, and see the world wake up, can't relate. Me? I love the peace of 2am... I'd rather take my dog out for a walk at 2am than at 6am. But what is odd is that I'm a total sun freak - I loooove the sun, so it's not that I shun the day. I just consider that the day starts at noon. But I come from a family of total "early-to-bed-early-to-risers." Freaks me RIGHT out.

Thankfully, as I've said, I'm extremely lucky that my work schedule now fits my natural bodyclock, and my wonderful friends and family totally accept and respect it. No one ever calls my house til after noon!

And I've never had a problem dating non-night people like me. I just stay up when they go to sleep... and then they get up early, and I go back to sleep for a few hours. Total harmony.

that Stevie is nocturnal...I know fer sure I am, I can easily stay awake all night and sometimes all day too

Hell, If I were to get more than 8 hours sleep ever it would only be after I passed on from this life, Cause I typically sleep only 6 hours maximum....I even stayed awake for almost 48 hours back in March after my Mom passed away from this existence.

Cant wait, Wont be able to sleep tonite at all since the Full moon will appear the largest on the East horizon for the first time in 18 years

That's me. Up everyday at the crack of noon.

Exactly. After PLAYING a gig (for us WORKING musicians who play 4-6 sets a night) til 1:30am...tearing down our own equip; loading it into the car, driving home (anywhere from 5-50 miles depending on venue)...getting home between 2:45-4am...then trying to let the adrenaline of the gig & drive home to pass (and Lord knows any caffeine consumption in the meantime)...bedtime could be anywhere from 4-7am or later...then there are those of us who have REAL jobs as well...sometimes sleep isn't an option at all...straight from the gig to the day job. Those days are hell.

Me too.

Im absolutely a Nightbird. And Im glad to hear Stevie is also just like me. Of course Im not priud of my ways, I really have struggled to get to sleep some nights and just cant. And then on the flip side I drag myself out of bed early (only when I have to) and say "why couldnt I be this tired last night

I love Seinfield's little comedy bit about Night guy and mornign guy and how they're two seperate people.

lbelle1214 · #28 06-21-2005, 04:42 PM

I was totally awake at 3am the other morning...awakened by a very loud bird at my window, singing at the top of her lungs. The first thought that went through my mind was "OMG...I'm hearing the call of a nightbird!" Stayed freaked out for two days waiting for my moment of doom.

sparky · #29 06-21-2005, 05:17 PM

I love the night. If I had my way, I would never sleep. Because morning are great too. If I am on hiatus and feeling like I don't have a million things to do, I will stay up till almost dawn and sleep till 2.

Alas, have these pesky mortgages and a job that requires my presence. I try to keep a balance and get some night enjoyment in when I can.
