My staying awake at midnight, actually revolves around what’s going on in my life at the moment. There are times where i was up all night, burning the midnight candle, because I had an upcoming exam or task. There were nights i stayed awake because I simply wanted to complete a movie, task or better still, a book. I just couldn’t bear to have them see the light of a new day, still incomplete, lol.
There were times where I had to stay up all night, simply because I couldn’t sleep. I had no choice then, but to entertain myself using whatever means - shared conversations with people, texted close individuals, or even did somethIng productive. There are also times where all I did, was scroll through social media. I didn’t have a thing to do, and I had nothing to look forward to at the moment, and to crown it all, I didn’t want to sleep. All I had to do, was to sit around, doing network. So, I resort to social media.
I really do enjoy staying up at midnight. With my roommates asleep, it feels like having the room to myself, and every other person fading into the background. Although I have exams upcoming, I haven’t started burning the midnight candle, and TikTok still consumes most of my time spent awake.
Due to my schedule these days, I find myself starting to write posts, around 9 to 10pm. And if the day was so stressful, I’d be fighting sleep before it’s 11pm. I’d be trying so hard, to stay away from my bed, and to avoid resting my head anywhere, so i don’t find myself in situations where it feels like I only blinked, but five hours had passed on the spot. I just try to be in my most upright position as possible, to reduce the chances of sleep overpowering me.
So, when I’m done with my hive business, the next app for me to unwind, is TikTok. Anyone who knows the app, knows how easy it is to enter, and how much of a hassle it is to come out. This is always the case for me. No matter how sleepy I was before, TikTok automatically wipes the sleep from my eyes. This is a good and bad thing actually, because while it’ll help me stay awake for some plans I’ve set out for later at night, it’s not an app one logs into when you have a serious task at hand. It’s very addicting!
It’s currently 11:50pm, and everywhere is so calm with me being the only person awake in this room. Another night about to be spent in the comfort of my phone.
Thanks for reading.
