Night owl checking in.
I use to have a job working 5pm to 3am about 5 years back that lasted a couple years,ever since then I have pretty much been an imsomniac.
I average about 4 hours of sleep now and start work at 6am.If it was not for my wife I would never make it on time because I dont wake up for anything.

Its weird because I can come home from work and fall asleep within minutes if I lay down but when it comes time for me to go to bed at night I just cant fall asleep and get really frustrated.

definitely, if only because of the hours I work.

I work 4 pm - 12 am almost every day... I usually sleep from 5:30 am - 2 pm.

For some damn reason, i am one.

I like going to sleep at 2 at the earliest, sometimes around 6 am.

I think it's cause i worked a graveyard shift for about a year, but yeah...

I've been a night owl since my early childhood. In my work career I've mainly stayed working swing shifts and then stay up till 4am or so after work.

Yeah, I was just up till 2:30am last night (work today at 8:00am) playing games. My wife yells at me, but I hate going to bed. I just don't need much sleep and she doesn't understand that.

used to stay up all night. marriage changes that in a hurry - you're usually somewhat expected to crash out at the same time as the SO. if i'm really into a game, i'll stay up 1-2 hours later than the wife.

now i only stay up late on party nights...
