I live at night because I can't stand people... traffic, noise, etc...

The night is beautiful no doubt about it...I used to walk at night for at least an hour as a teenager..at about 2-3 am

It will make you very depressed after a while, the whole world will seem black..I don't recommend doing it too often..

Yep I do this too.

Obscurity can be a fire of ambition in those who have stalwart souls.

I've always preferred the night. Unfortunately, I have a day job. Now, it's time for a nap before work...g'nite all :).

Yep! I work 4:00 - midnight. It's a total corporate job, but I'm the only one in my office who works these hours. There's only about two hours every day when my co-workers are still there.

I used to love walking at that hour. The air was fresh, the noise was down, even the drug addicts were asleep. There's nothing dark about it :)

I'm not a nightowl but I set my work hours 11 AM - 6 PM for much the same reasons. It's amazing how much difference running the rat race only a couple hours apart from the masses makes.

You're a sparkly vampire, just admit it.

I also stay awake mainly at night because I can't stand most people- as you said, the noise, the sounds, modern humans are such obnoxious scum. I hope the Illuminati kills them all off soon.

I live at night as well, spent virtually every waking second outside up until the past few years...work sucks...most recent days I only experience sunlight while walking to vehicle on the way to work...

I am ready for a change, I was never a morning person, unless it was to get up and fish or something, but this schedule now is ridiculous...just got home in fact...I work virtually every single night..

I live a pretty normal life on the outside, but freed up on the inside.

Cant understand it either.

Watch em rush around so they can get home 2 minutes earlier!

Funny as.

Cool thread, BTW.

Please read The Highly Sensitive Person. It will all make sense.

Hang in there.

This, actually.

It shows how depressed you already are to even start doing this. It's also easy to assume you're devoid of responsibilities, have no care to grow up and accept them; i.e. you're a jobless bum.

I usually work 10pm-6am. It really is less stressful and easier to concentrate.

ffs thats so far from the truth.
walking at night at 3am gives some people(including me) great joy,at one stage it was what i did to have me time.doesnt mean your jobless and it defintely doesnt lead to depression.For me the opposite.
If walking around at night or doing stuff at night makes you depressed-youve got other shit going on besides it being nighttime and youre probably not a nightowl at heart.

Yes...

Night time is best time.

3/4 of GLPers are unemployed and they live in the daytime. Don't worry, I won't criticise you for being a depressive, closet-suicidal, jobless bum.

you write basing things on assumptions.
a lot here arent, but you seem to feliter that out of your perceptions, and talk inclusively like everyones the same and therefore the same"assumption" fits everyone in your eyes.
pretty stupid assumptions you have on glpers and people(and me lol)

You're in the same boat as the OP, aren't you? Don't worry, I won't judge you.

so move to the countryside. To a farm or something.

Can't tell if trolling or being a closed minded douche that just makes assumptions...

Yep, been a night-owl all my life. I much prefer the quiet, peaceful feeling of stillness at night than the robotic, loud day.

When people say things like that I tend to assume that they do not know there are alternatives to working 40+ hours a week...

I've given up on searching under every rock for intelligence these days. Fuck it if I miss a gem.

you dont make sense tonight.same boat in what way?are you assuming that because i disagreed with your other assumptions?

since i finished school in june ive been going to bed regularly at sunrise and waking up before sunset. i cant function unless i have extended hours of concentration and focus and i get flustered too many times a day during waking hours when everyone is around to disturb. i'm anxious about not getting out as much but nothing is really worth giving up my concentration time. best would be overcoming sleep altogether i guess.

what kind of work?

Yep, the same with me but I am mildly autistic.
Also, I can only be creative past midnight.
