I'm a night owl, always have been. When I was little my sister and I shared a room and she'd go to bed at 9 p.m. like a good girl but that just isn't me, I'm not always good (insert wicked grin). I pulled the covers over my head, turned on my flashlight and read for a couple hours after she went to bed.
I've been known to stay up until 4 a.m. scrapbooking, 2:30 a.m. playing Guitar Hero, 5 a.m. chatting, 1 a.m. messing around on the computer and last night...
I watched the Twins game with Kimmie, fell asleep for a couple hours at her house, woke up at 1 a.m. (I've been doing that a lot lately, falling asleep at people's houses. Makes me feel guilty.) and went home. I couldn't sleep so I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. reading a book. I couldn't put it down and I wasn't tired. Apparently I only need a few hours of sleep to function.
Honestly I haven't been that passionate about what I've been reading lately, at least not enough to want to have to stay up that late reading. So it could have been the reading material and the fact that I had a sort-of nap.
Totally sounds like me. My husband goes to bed sometimes at 7:30 and I am content to say up and do house work, read, scrap,watch a movie, whatever. When I was little I had tv in my room. My dad bought if for me but he was against it. I remember staying up late one night to watch the Olympics. I only need a few hours of sleep too. I've been married for almost four years now and my husband has been trying all that time to get me to "convert" to his early schedule. I just cannot go to sleep at 7:30. I'd be wide awake at 1:00 on the morning.
