OT: What Do You Do At 4:00 a.m.
 

What Do You Do At 4:00 a.m. when you cannot sleep?

Right now I am so board that all I am doing is stalking the forum for new Posts. I am thinking about going to the 24 hour store and getting some grub, but that would require me to get fully dressed and leave the warmth of the house.

I could play some SE IV, or other game, but lately all games just don't seem to appeal to me. I guess its a winter dry spell.

I would watch TV, but you'd think when you pay $80.00 a month for Satellite, at least one station would have something on it other than Paid advertising.

I could watch a DVD, but franking without something to snack on, why bother.

So here I am, adding yet another completely useless post the blog. Happy new years eve all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Just like you, if I'm up at 4, I'll fire up the computer in my room and browse my bookmarks. In no particular order thay are: this board, Fark, /., the Boards attached to my tagline, the USENET, snopes, straight dope, skepdic, wikipedia. It kills an hour and I'm sleepy again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Going into the living room and fireing up the T.V. seems like surendering too much -- that means I don't expect to sleep again that night. Besides, if I watch what I have stored on Tivo at 5 AM -- what will I watch later when I'm bored in the evening?

^almost same here, I frequently have insomia from 2-9 am. I usually work on something 3D, read a programming book(500+ page sleeping pills there), rock out to the Doors, mellow out to Norah Jones, or play some kind of mindless yet soothing game, like a popcap game or level grind in disgaea, or occasionally a not so soothing game like trying to kill tribes 2 bots without an embarrasingly bad kill/death ratio or playing through one of my classic games like mechwarrior, MOO2, TA, or C&C.

I don't suppose anyone wouldbe intersted in setting up a late night IP game of SE4 gold, or a multiplayer game of one of the above mentioned games?

I hear THAT! ('cept my time is 5:20). Of course, it causes me to rarely sleep past 6:30 a.m. on the weekends...so I crawl on the PC and type quietly while wifey finishes out a night of slumber [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Envy.gif[/img]

Well, when I can not sleep I just think about whatever crosses my mind. Funny 4:00 a.m. is mentioned. The other night I learn to count to nineteen in Japanese. I woke up at four in the morning couting to myself in Japanese! Quite odd. Equally strange, I kept saying "airplane" in Dutch when I went to the get a drink of water. I'm usally in "La La Land" when it's that early in the morning.

Sleep well all.

Ahh, 4am, I'm stuck around 2am to 6am most often. I watch some late night tv, even if it's news or anything. If that fails and there's no movies on I'll check the internet, If that fails me I grab a book from my bookshelf and read until 6am. Then I usually fall asleep

At 4:00 am I tend to consider strange stuff like the name Lancelot lol (Lance-alot for a knight, get it? hehe, i laughed for twenty minutes as I kept say Lancealot) or I start thinking about the book I'm trying to write.

I tend to play a little bit on the computer; mainly internet games like DarkThrones or SpaceFed as I don't hav to worry about thinking all that much.

I can't drive and even if I could driving when I'm that tired would=bad idea so I that removes that option.

Mainly though I just go into wierd mode and start thinking about stuff I really never would unless I'm exauhsted.
