we pull all niters
I am 20 and live with my mother and 18 yr old brother. I'm not sure if this is too unusual or not, but would like others opinions.
My brother, mother and I stay up at ALL hours of the night. We usually do individual things but the three of us barely sleep. The lights in our house are on all night, the tvs are on and music playing at 2-3 am. We live night as if it were day, and night didn't exist. Sometimes the three of us will go out with respective friends, and come home at different times between 2 and 5 am. When home, my mother typically falls asleep first around 1-3 am depending on the day. My brother is up til 3ish and I can stay up til 5AM. We crash wherever we are, even with the lights on, as if it were a nap. Even if I fall asleep at 1 am, I will frequently wake again and watch a movie, play guitar, eat or something like that. I realized how bad this may be when I went over my bfs house at 1 am. In my mind, it was like being 8pm. His two brothers and parents were sound asleep, and he was quietly watching TV with no lights on. This would never be the case at my house, and hasn't been since I was a kid!!
