Is it seriously a good idea to stay up THIS late?

[Yumemi Okazaki]

It's 4:00 AM over here and I've been reading fanfictions since 8 PM yesterday. I really need to sleep.
_{plz help with my internet addiction/fanfiction fangirling}
Any clues how to fall asleep?

@Yumemi

I would recommend either listening to very soft soothing music to get you into the mood to sleep. I know this from personal experience. When on the computer, you have the world at your fingertips. There are so many things to see and do, but so little time, and unfortunately that time is your sleeping time. When I find myself staying up too late, I try to stir my need to sleep by listening to soothing music and closing my eyes as I try to relax. Before you know it, you're out like a light.

(P.S.: It's 4:21 AM where I live. XD)

ALCOHOLISM

@S121
I've listened to music with a low volume plenty of times before when I sleep, just not the soothing ones in particular. Only like, 1 or 2 percent of ny songs are soothing. The rest are either utaite covers, game osts, and Touhou remixes. I'll try to keep in mind I should make a playlist. Thanks for that suggestion.

@Hat
Seems legit. Do you not see my age on my profile page? I need, ⑨ years to grow up plz.
Unless you can magically give them to me, I don't think alcohol is happening any time soon.

Pfft, it's only illegal if you get caught (don't take it too seriously though, California law = drinking on holidays)
But really, how are you able to stay up that long? If you're addicted to the interwebs, just take a break, maybe play music, go outside. Falling asleep depends on you although NEVER take those sleeping pill things.

I for one don't advocate underage drinking. My advice would be to not take any naps so you are exhausted at the end of the day.

[Yukkurirumia]

think of creating a fanfiction as you lay in bed

@Yumemi

Here's a couple I listen to, just to get you started. Hope they help. I think I still have a couple from my playlist, so just ask if you want any more.

@nuke
What does going outside mean? (I know, I'm hopeless.)
@shimitty
I never take naps in the middle of the day so I think I'm good on that.
@myon
I sometimes write fanfictions on my phone when I sleep. I don't think them.
@S121
Cool. I'll check them out.

Well hello there!

I recommend putting away/turning off all digital devices, such as smart phones and computers, two hours before bedtime.
- In the first hour you could prepare for bed, eat some food, brush the teeth, etc.
- In the next hour, you could read a book*, or some activity that does not include digital devices/screens that emit light.

It is important to stay away from computers, etc. especially the smart phone, because the light would disturb the natural sleep rythm. (if that's a thing)

I put my phone away in the other end of the room, flight mode enabled,
everything else turned off except the alarm. (don't need online when body needs sleep)

Would also be a good idea to wake up at a set time, every day,
regardless of weekend/holiday or school day;
and don't forget to stay away from alcohol as long as possible.



I try to do this myself, but my, it is not easy. It will pay off in the long run though, so make sure to try it out!

* three books I read (yes, all at the same time (no, not really))

"The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien
"And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie
"A Geek in Japan" by Héctor García


Edit: No, I seriously do not think it is "a good idea to stay up THIS late". Based from recent personal experience.

@Ea

Alternatively you can just use programs like F.lux and Twilight to get rid of all the blue light(which is the bad light).

But anyway, shoot.
I drank 3 cups of iced caramel macchiato.

Um, that much caffeine will make you stay up for a day and a half

[Lunasa Prismriver]

Use elephant tranquilizers, those things work well for balancing out caffeine.
