OT: What Do You Do At 4:00 a.m.

[Atrocities]

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.

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.

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.

I rarely stay up that late ever anymore.
