Staying Up All Night

I've been doing this lately but it's not my normal routine. Anyway, it's better to be awake during the day - because I might be needed for odd jobs to make money. O.K., who else is a night owl?
 
I'm not a night owl intentionally. Sometimes I'll go to bed early and wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep. I can't stay up all night though because my body just won't function. I love to sleep.
 
I'm very much a night owl, I'm something of an insomniac, so I tend to sleep very little, and I'm most productive in the night hours.
 
I used to be a night owl, but recently I have been getting up at 5am for work, which means I am falling asleep by 9pm :D
 
I used to be a night owl too - especially when I was playing Civilisation on my PC. However, now that I'm ageing, I tend to find that staying awake is becoming a problem. I decided to settle down the other night around 8:00pm and started watching the first Star Wars movie again (for the umpteenth time) and I only got 20 minutes into it when I thought I blinked only to see the credits rolling at the end of the movie. I even started falling asleep eating my lunch one time, lol. So, no night owl for me now, more lights out. 🤷‍♂️

I've done this so many times of late, lol. Put a film on, sit back to watch it and...it's finished! It's frustrating :D
 
I wish I could stay up at night, I get more work done at night, My only problem is I can only stay yo 12~13 hours before I pass out.
