The Late Night Thread
Started by MB333999
This thread was made for those of you bored in the wee hours of the A.M.
Please only post in this thread between the hours of 12:00 AM and 8:00 AM (in your respective area obviously).
Why are you awake?!? and what are you doing???
as for me I usually dont get to bed till around 3 anyway, but i seem to not be tired tonight so I drove down to the social science building to do some reading till around 4.
SLEEP IS A WASTE OF TIME! Evolution needs to scrap it.
Well, I'm up because I got myself on this 4am-8am sleep schedule during the semester, and I can't break it. I can't fall asleep at a reasonable hour, and I wake up every morning anticipating something that needs to get done beyond studying for the MCAT. Next week, I start full-time research, a winter class, and REAL studying for the MCAT. If only I could sleep now 🙂
It's not even really that late right now.
FloatOn, I see you migrated from 2014 to here because of your vampiric lifestyle.

I thought this thread was going to be about stupid Leno taking Conan's spot. I'm glad Conan is going to rip NBC for $80 million and walk away to another station. Leno sucks.
I'll have to go to bed early tonight. Stupid Wednesdays.
Well, I'm friggin bored, so I gotta do something about it. And I migrated because all you guys talk about is sports and that's not how I roll.
Understandable. You need to drop in when me, brooklyn, or spurs aren't there. Then again, most of my sports talk is instigated by those other two. But they're always there, if you haven't noticed.

Late night talk shows are not funny. I've given them a bajillion chances but I always find my way back to TLC or the Food Network.
I totally agree. I really can't stand them - there's always something better on.
Same here. at work, night number two with NO patients. ugg. only 9 more hours...Well, I'm friggin bored.

haven't been to this thread in awhile. Just wanted to pop my head in and say what's up.
ya, that is crazy. I'm afraid of flying and earthquakes... I can't live anywhere!
Whaddup. Did you guys hear about the earthquake in Haiti? It's awful...earthquakes scare me. I love you California, but I'm staying put on the East Coast..north of FL because I hate hurricanes too. Does Canada ever get any natural disasters?
Blizzards.
Blizzards.
To the point where it's absolutely (and suddenly) devastating to the region? Then again...

im from Canada, dont remember the last time we had a "natural disaster".
Then again I have the tendency to sleep through important events, including exams.
That's not good.
I prefer my ability to sleep through hurricanes until the power goes off and I start sweating.

Yeah...Canada is pretty uneventful. That's probably a good thing in a lot of contexts. Were you the person on SDN who slept through his final and ended up with a B in the class?

WHAT!? How'd you manage that? My profs would show no mercy if I missed an exam because I overslept. I am sure of it.

I ran to my exam but after the first 30 min they dont let any1 in to start writing. Of course i was about an hour late so i decided to run to the deans office instead and beg for mercy. I explained how i was a first year and it was my first final bla bla bla. and it worked out. No sexual favors or anything 👍

Well that's a relief.

Would have made for an even more interesting story, though...
ethical dilemma? um, no, can't say I've ever had one of those...Would have made for an even more interesting story, though...

i work overnight, 2am-10am at a high-class department store, as part of the housekeeping crew. pay is good, hours are fine since i'm in school. Tho it is terrible for a social life lol.
Basically my boss doesn't come in untill 7-8 in the morning, and i have internet access, so i half-@$$ my job quickly so i can browse SDN.
I'm commited what can i say

Similar situation here... work at a hospital at night 7pm-7am and well... when the patients sleep I surf.😀

lmao. what exactly do you do there?
8p-8a ICU nurse here. 20 minutes till freedom!!Similar situation here... work at a hospital at night 7pm-7am and well... when the patients sleep I surf.😀
At this point I am so desperate for a patient Id go out and hurt someone....but with my luck they'd end up at the hospital across town. 12 hours of nothing is a loooooooooooooooooooooooong night. Heck, I'd even take a vasal vagler if one of the long term residents needs to strain a lil.
Is it late yet?
Eh, I thought this was a thread about the Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno fiasco.

Is it still a sleep disorder if so many people on SDN have it? 😀
Yes, yes it is.
I don't like doing laundry late at night because what if I feel like going to bed when it's still in the washer? My clothes need to be dry and folded before I sleep!

Today my sleep disorder is self-inflicted
This semester could have some extremely late nights for me. There's a good chance that my first class will alternate between 12:30pm or 12pm and I'll definitely have Fridays off.
Ditto 🙂
School next week! Is anyone actually still up?
yep, but I'm not going to sleep...
