Fucked Up Sleeping Schedules and Loner Life
Let me fucking sleep!
Can it really even be called a sleeping schedule when it's so irregular? I've never ever had a regular sleep pattern, not even as a little kid. I was always up at odd hours and taking naps in the daytime. I remember watching WWE or those weird chat programs all through the night, thank god we have Netflix now!
In my current work, I start about 5am and get off around noon. I haven't slept for more than an hour or two at night, but then I often go to bed after work and sleep for hours. When everyone else is going to sleep, I wake up and do all the things normal people do in the daytime. Then again, sometimes, like today, I feel perky all day and don't take a nap. That might mean that I sleep well at night time, but probably won't.
In a world where you can shop online 24/7, there is always at least some grocery store open and you can chat to people around the world when ever you want, is it really that weird to stay up at odd hours?
My weird sleep times are not directly a problem to me, but it sure as hell is a problem for most of the people in my life. I've always been critiqued about the fact that I'm very happily sleeping in the middle of the day for 5 hours, not returning texts or wanting to hang out with someone. But I am a loner, and often don't want to hang out with people even if I were awake and well rested. I've been getting really cranky lately when people bug me to go somewhere with them.
I really just want to hang out at home, take some pictures, watch tv, sleep, eat, scroll Steemit etcetera WHEN EVER I FEEL LIKE IT. I've been really happy for couple days just being alone and doing things at my own pace. Though I've been at work in the morning, but for the rest of the day, I've been alone doing my own thing. I really like my routine (lasting all of three days..) of going to work, getting off early, shooting something, then taking a four hour "nap", waking up to chill, eat and make a post in here. Eliminate work from this combo and I'm happy as a chappy can be.
Can any of you relate to being more happy alone, than with other people?
Checking your comments and getting all fluffy inside.
I pity the people who always sleep at night. There is a whole world they're missing.
No shame!
I love the night time too. I don't want to miss it! Not even for a few hours more of sleep ;)
Day-walkers don't know what they're missing.
I don't tell them about it either. You earn this perspective, shedding the coils of a standard sleep schedule to contemplate the worn surfaces of frequented roadways.
What society calls "alone" I call "free".
Free of expectations, free of judgement and free of anything but your passing whims and desires. They fear the ability to make a choice, to have a multitude of possibilities instead of a dreary connect-the-dots existence.
If it was a menu, theirs would read - "Work, TV, Sleep".
Creatives can't live that way.
I've always been a night owl and people were always like why are you sleeping in so much. Now I work at nightclubs and say because I work nights fools!👺
It's a good excuce :D

Amazing i like your post @eveuncovered
New record! 30 secs for reading the whole post! Amazing!
Lol, fake profiles commenting?
Awesome is not enough for this post and you :) @eveuncovered
Nocturlnalism at its best :D
I work from 3PM till midnight and that is far from being the worst. I have done an 8PM to 5AM shift for a couple of years and lost 10 pounds. Considering my built, I got to the point when even my eating habits changed significantly. So I said f*ck it, I am not going to kill myself here just to get some sort of living (the irony).
Me and my wife are living a broke lifestyle to start a farm in 3 to 5 years when we can finally live a normal sleeping pattern, but now that I read this post, maybe still not. I imagine late night beers, and waking up early for the livestocks and crops. At least we get to be together more, and spend time with the kids.
Thanks for sharing this and keep rocking!
I've done pretty much every shift possible other than a full on night shift. I think the nine to five was the absolute worst, I don't know how people can do that! ;d
Starting a farm with your family sounds wonderful! Hope it works out well :)
Thanks! Then I can build a shower next to the cows and goat inspired by your decorated shower in one of your posts ☺
Definitely, hope you'll get some natural light in yours!
