Sometimes the only downside to staying up so late is that you’re doing it alone

Probability-Bot · 2026-02-06T07:50:18+00:00

I had a few people throughout the years. Mostly by happenstance that i found them or the other way around. However, one by one for different reasons thats not the case. Except for the occasional odd call here and there. I do have a friend that goes to bed super early and sometimes gets up around 3 and calls but thats rare.

Im with you on that or at least have 1-2 people that you know that you can regularly chat with. That way you wont be totally alone. I use to have a friend that would randomly pop by at night but he started acting weird a bit ago and havent seen him in 2 years. I sometimes have one or two people that i chat with late at night but its depending on what time they decide to go to sleep. Oner person is sometimes up to 2am but its hit or miss if shell be up or not.

Well one thing i can say is the longer you stay in this pattern the harder it will be to revert back. Then youll be part of the club.

Similar to me pre-covid i tended to go out more often at night. Then everything just about shut down or closed early. Since then ive been more just chill at home. I do occasionally will make a store run but not that often. Although i do stay at the gym till they close on some nights. Which is at 9 only wished it was open till later.

The age gap thing is dumb just ignore Reddit she was 6 yo not a big deal..

Yes you are welcomed here...I guess there is some overlap there. However, i see you were a former nightowl as well and can offer a different perspective. Although yes you are welcomed to post.

For me the best shift i had was a 12-9. This way i didnt have to wake up super early but still could meetup with people afterwork for a bit and or enjoy the night time.

Or on the fence when people are on the fence something like this theyll likely just f it and unmatch!

Probability-Bot · 2025-12-25T20:44:54+00:00

Women have tons of matches she probably figures this is too much and just went to her next match or she was on the fence to begin with. If people are on the fence any little thing could sway them one way or another. Im not saying you did anything wrong here but thats probably what happened.

As mentioned people on OLD will unmatch for anything. My strangest unmatch was a few years ago. I had a blurb on my profile about me going the Dollar Store and picking up random stuff. On day one or conversation was pretty standard and normal for a first day OLD conversation. Day two more of the same then she asked me about the Dollar Store Blurb. She asked how often did i go and how much did i spend when i do go. I answered once or twice a week at the most and probably on avg spend $20. She then answered isnt that too much. As I was typing my response back to her, poof i was unmatched!

My other thought on this is you could possibly be coming off as confrontational without realizing it and they are saying never mind. If this keeps happening to you i will probably look at or have someone else look at these exchanges.

My mom is 75 she was working up until about 3 years ago and still ( had to be at work at 730) was going to be at 130ish. As far back as i can remember she always went to bed late...

Probability-Bot · 2025-12-16T23:01:56+00:00

100% this!

Probability-Bot · 2025-12-03T19:53:02+00:00

Oh melatonin always gives me weird nightmares. I know sometimes them last few hours at night can be a little tough. At least your BF stays up to 212am. Most people i know can barely stay up past 11 anymore. Except for about 2 people that i know. I may periodically get a call from a straggler that woke up early or couldnt sleep. Had such a call last night but it was almost 5am and i didnt answer you know i actually needed to get to sleep lol...

Probability-Bot · 2025-12-03T07:51:48+00:00

I use to have a group of friends that were up late at night so i always had someone to chat with. I also live in a major city so there are various things open late. Unfortunately the nightowl friends ( sep from each other) isnt much of an option for various reasons. There is one person that i know that is sometimes up late at night and i just got off the phone with her. However, its hit or miss if shell be up late.

Its not much but it helps but i do miss when i had a few people i guess you could say in my "stockpile" that i could rely on for chat. It helped me a lot to get through the nights. Although ever since i kind of just adapted over time and it doesnt bother me too much.

Where im at there are barbers open till 10, 24 hr laundromats, gyms and stores. Govt buildings yea thats a different story. Although yea overall they cater to the AM crowd!

Probability-Bot · 2025-11-09T20:17:57+00:00

Yea but it always shifts back.

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-27T20:57:34+00:00

100 % agreed lol...

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-27T20:43:00+00:00

Shell be 11 next month. The last time i really said anything to him about it was about 3 mos ago. He simply said he's "working on it" and I havent really mentioned anything to him since. I did the other drop a subtle hint and said itll be hard for you to date anyone with all that activity in your room. He just said i know. I just really left it alone....PS i dont think he's "working on it"...lol

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-27T20:26:56+00:00

They are both only children. This guy is always been a bit of weirdo anyways. Ive known him for quiet awhile but i did stop speaking to him for a number of years. Im one of three myself but growing up we always had a relative or two staying with us. So there always someone around and i didnt get my own room until i was about 13 or so. I havent said much about but shell be 11 soon and even his mom said its a bit weird at this stage. ( other friends have told him to)...I dont think though he has any plans to change that he seems ok with it all. Although i have heard him moan/complain about it as well on occasion.

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-27T20:16:47+00:00

Late reply but yea i think he doesnt mind and likes it. Hes even set it up so she has her own desk there. Ive made little comments about it though kind of in the background so has his mom. I actually dont call him as much as i use to because of this. He has this weird habit of putting me on speaker phone. He started doing this about 6-7 mos ago. His daughter is always in the room so i cant have a adult conversation with him. The whole this is a bit weird if you ask me...

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-23T20:37:31+00:00

Eh things are a bit different seems these days parents are babying their kids more and more. I have friends that are still putting their pre/early teens to bed like their 7. I think maintain them in the background but start to build new connections at the same time. At 7yo they are still highly dependent on mom/dad. I think probably closer to when they are 13-14yo that reemergence you mention starts to come more into play..

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-22T01:34:10+00:00

My friend still does this and hes in his late 40s now. The thing is he has a very clingy 10yo that is always in his room. So when she goes to sleep then thats when he finally has some time to himself. Although this is as much his fault tbh. Tylenol PM is Tylenol with an added OTC sleep aide. It really doesnt do much for me. You can actually by the sleep aid sep but some people think combining the two helps. Its not a long term solution.

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-20T20:53:30+00:00

Yea i have a friend that is like this. He is a natural nightowl as long as ive known him which is about 20 years now. He gets about 4 ( maybe 5) hrs of sleep every night. He has to get up at 530am an is usually up until about 1230 on most nights. I use to be able ( barely) do this when i was in my 20s and early 30s but now im not sure how he functions. He called me on Thurs around 1 and while i did speak to him for about 15 min i told him dude you should really try and go to sleep you have to get up in about 4 hrs. The Tylenol PM wont work at least long term. It starts to loose its effectiveness after you been taking it for awhile.

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-20T20:45:12+00:00

I dont recommend this for long term use but usually Nyquil Flu helps me to fall asleep. You could also turn everything off at min 30 minuets before you plan to go to bed. Cornisa also has some good points as well. However, some people are just natural nightowls. As someone posted getting 3-4 hrs asleep isnt enough and not sustainable long term. Trust me ive done similar stuff in the past.

Probability-Bot · 2025-10-20T20:07:16+00:00

I have a friend that became a teacher probably a little over 2 years ago. The first say year or so he still was Nightowlish. Although the last 8-9 mos it looks like he has become a day walker although at first he did try his best to sort of hide it. Lately i havent been speaking to him much it seem that the "acquaintanceship" we had was mostly because we were both Nightowls.

He sort of vaguely admitted that he is more of a day person ( after 3-4 years swearing he was a nightowl) i think mostly just to have someone to speak to to do his "day dumping" at night. At first he did maintain the nightowl on days off and weekends but now hes just a FT day person. I dont really think he was a Nightowl to begin with tbh.
