Night person

Hot 3800 views. 2015-8-23 12:19 | person, people, common

It is obvious common to see people stay up.  Even I, myself, sometimes have to deal with files or just sit around by doing nothing to kill time and keep mind fresh and just can not or am not willing to go to bed. Though I know it is not so good to stay up, there seems no effectiveness about asking me to fall sleep at an early time. Sometimes I choose to read a book till I feel there is a need to sleep. That is what I am always doing, I start to sleep at an early time unless I feel really exhausted after a day's mountain work.

Usually we find time is limited, such a feeling is becoming strongly among people who live in cities, especially in big ones. Everyday people have to deal with many things either from work or life. The competitiveness drives people to work hard and study hard, because we have to work for living and study for improving. How to fully make use of time? That is a problem. In the morning I see many people are still in tiredness on the subway. Some can not fully open eyes, or just close eyes to rest up for a while, some others are falling down heads, from which I can not see clearly their facial expressions but I think they might be napping temporarily, with hands resting on thighs. When I get to the office, usually hear of some collegaues are nagging the shortage of sleep, one of them complains about that she has to take an exam so she has to study very late in every night. While another elder one says, " You are still young, I now can not do it well in nights, if I were at your age, I could try to take some other exams."

Today in the morning, when I got up, found another explosion happened in Shandong province, very bad. How come such disasters come again and again? Besides from the wechat, I saw many links of news, pictures and some other words shared from friends over the whole night. All kinds of news, something about what they met, thought, and wished. Yes, every morning, I find many like that. 

Oh, man, they did not even require a comfortable sleep because of weekends?

Actually, sleeping late is common nowadays. In the night, I look across the river to the homes on the opposite side and also the homes nearby. Most of the homes have lights on at midnight. People are siting on their sofas using their cellphones and some in their own rooms using the laptop or computer. I have tried to identify the reasons for people sleeping late. It seems in the night it is more relaxed and most friends still not yet go to sleep. It is quieter in the night which is good for listening to songs and music. It is also better to go online to talk to friends at night.

However, according to medical experts, we all need at least 8 hours of quality sleep. Most of us sleep much less than that. The result of insufficient sleep is sleepiness and unable to concentrate. Nevertheless, people still sleep late because nighttime is the time for the activities they like. I guess this would not change, so we adjust our times to get as much sleep as possible. It also depends on the person himself because some of them only need a few hours sleep and that is enough for them. A few years ago, I slept only 2 or 3 hours every night, but that was because I was busy running my business. Now I can't sleep so late. So you can see when there is a chance to succeed or make money for our future, we can give up sleep. Sleeping late is not always a bad thing, but we have to be sensible.

Actually, no matter what works very urgent, we can fullfill it in daytime. Only when we couldn't manage good time table and waste too much time that we stay up for a making up.
People have certain life clock, we should get up and go to bed in a certain time, then we may feel energetic.  Due to some reasons, even if we know this fact , but we have to lead an irregular lifestyle.
You just give us a good theme which worth our attention.

It's becoming a habit to stay up late, even there is nothing special to do.
And it's another habit to check the wechat firstly when we wake up.

Yes, we want to gain something then we need to pay for it. Everything comes at its price. But only two hours, whoa, you were amazing at that time. Wish you are good all the time, friend.

I just find it a must to talk something on it, and I hope some of us, including me, myself, can form a good habit to go to bed at an early and fixed time as much as we can.

Yes, it seems most of us get used to such a lifestyle. Now I rarely use cellphone, and save time to go around, such as a walk to the park, or hike to countryside, besides try to get rest as much as I can before mid night.
