My mother used to call me her night owl; I'd "hide" books under my pillow before bed and read by the nightlight until the wee hours of the morning as a kid. :-P It's a good thing I don't usually have computer access late at night, or I'd still never sleep...Scrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911315552965685448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-72175428807191480932007-10-31T22:46:00.000-04:002007-10-31T22:46:00.000-04:00This should be a button:I am a blogger and I like ...This should be a button:<BR/><BR/>I am a blogger and I like to sleep in.<BR/><BR/>Also--<BR/><BR/>I was supposed to write a paper tonight but I went blogging instead.Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660802321998349072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-18422532332442543502007-10-31T19:26:00.000-04:002007-10-31T19:26:00.000-04:00I never had a problem making it to school on time;...I never had a problem making it to school on time; I was usually the one who wanted to leave the earliest. I'm usually pretty good about getting to minyan on time, though I tend to need more time to get ready in the morning to come on time to minyan when I'm in a dorm setting. If I'm driving to minyan during the week, or walking elsewhere on Shabbat, I'm usually fine.<BR/><BR/>I'm always tired; I never seem to be able to get enough sleep. Oh well. My best work sometimes comes at night (i.e. when I stayed up for a while last night working on my programming homework). Naps can sometimes get me through the day. <BR/><BR/>One thing is for sure- I need plenty of sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-52412284778028976902007-10-31T17:57:00.000-04:002007-10-31T17:57:00.000-04:00yay for sleeping in!in high school, particularly y...yay for sleeping in!<BR/><BR/>in high school, particularly year 12, i did all my best work late at night, most likely because it was more quiet then. it was difficult to make it to school on time though but as far as I remember, our year wasn't the best at showing up on time.Sarah Likes Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055831838215589183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-73694093688971236472007-10-31T15:07:00.000-04:002007-10-31T15:07:00.000-04:00I love sleeping in.

I've also gotten used to going to bed really late (cough ::ezzie:: cough [although truthfully I went to bed late even before gchat took over my life]) and so now I find that I can't fall asleep right away unless I am very, very sleepy - or else I end up tossing and turning for hours.the applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756184353010645018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-90813068052726235452007-10-31T14:44:00.000-04:002007-10-31T14:44:00.000-04:00I’m a (family name withheld to protect innocent). ...I’m a (family name withheld to protect innocent).

I would wake up between 7:21 and 7:23 (on on time days), and over the next minutes, proceed to use the bathroom, wash negel vasser, (note: bathroom was down the hall) get dressed, run down 2-3 flights of stairs and across a wing or two of a mansion, and get my tefillin on by 7:29. We had it down to the second. If someone didn't go down the stairs as fast as us, they'd move to the side so we could jump down flights by them. (We generally would jump the last 6-8 steps of a given flight.) It was fun.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-59752230585009783702007-10-31T12:33:00.000-04:002007-10-31T12:33:00.000-04:00My high school started at 7:25.
