Yeah, for me it's almost a ritual. It's 1am right now in South Africa, and I know I've got to wake up at 6, but I have no intent to sleep. I don't suffer from insomnia or anything, it's just a personal habit I guess.

Yes, I'm the same, but I also want to stop, since it has made my SA and depression much worse.
sleepy time
No. I usually get up at some time from 6-8 am. I don't like the feeling of getting up late, it feels gross. If I ever woke up at 4 pm I would feel absolutely disgusting. I don't see how liking the "night" applies for some people who stay on the computer and stuff all night, because all they're doing is looking at their computer? I don't really understand it.

Since I stopped working mid-November I've basically become nocturnal and it's not good. Especially since it's getting dark at 5pm here. I'm trying to correct it now. (He says when it's 2am 
).
Lack of daylight has a huge effect on peoples brains. I know for a fact that I feel a lot more positive in the summer when I have a healthy sleeping pattern.
The trouble with unhealthy sleeping patterns is that they're easy to get into, and very hard to get out of - especially if you don't have to be up for anything.

i like the nighttime b/c there's no else awake really except me and maybe my bf. if i have to leave the apt to get the mail or do laundry, i prefer to do it in the middle of the nite when everyone else in the building is sleeping.
i guess a huge part of my night-time ness is the fact that i've had insomnia/sleeping problems for over a year and i'm just very much a vamp and don't like the daytime.

Yep exact same for me, i seem to stay up ages through the night, just on the computer and stuff. I guess one reason i do is because everyone else has gone to bed, and its a chance to have time to myself, and also its become habbit, Its not too good though when i have to get up early, however i still end up doing it. Maybe i should try to go earlier sometimes.

Lol at the employed
. But seriously, I think getting a job (hopefully) would force me into a more structured routine. Just got to finish school first, then attempt to go out into the world::.

Yep i am, i tend to stay up through the night. I try to get my time straightened out but always end up staying up late.
