Confessions of a night owl! 🌙

Hi everyone!

How are you today? ❤️ It’s no secret that I am a night owl, I’m my best self in the night and bursting at the seams with inspiration which is good in that moment but not so much the next morning when I can’t drag myself out of bed! 😂 I’m working on it though! Today I thought I’d share some thoughts that cross my mind when I’m wide awake in the middle of the night. This post will be like my Thinking is easier than sleeping post which was a hella fun to write so if you enjoy this then go ahead and read that! I hope this makes you laugh, these are the confessions of a night owl 🦉:

• *Gets in bed at 10pm* I’ll just read for half an hour *finishes and puts down book at 3am and tries to convince oneself that it’s not a big deal*

• Out comes the aromatherapy essence which makes me tired but never actually sends me off to sleep now that I think about it 🤔

• *Light goes off* oh I have an idea! *Light goes on and I write down the idea…light goes off* oh I have another idea *light goes on* I write it down (the light in my head is evidently always on 💡😂). Sometimes I switch the light on and forget the idea but you can’t have everything! 🤷

• 1am isn’t that late because you can still get in 8 hours of sleep and wake up around 9 right?

• What on earth is that ringing sound? (You can find out more about that here 😂).

• Sleeping is weird, why is the aim to lose consciousness??

• Why can’t nighttime positivity seep into the day? I feel so good about myself when I’m overtired and delirious 😂

• If I can fall asleep within ten minutes then I’ll have a better chance of getting the full eight hours in and still wake up early…..I forgot anticipation keeps me awake too 😕

• Okay, so my phone is out of reach in the drawer…what do I do now?

• It’s times like now I could do with a mini fridge 🤤

• *A car drives by* I wonder where they’re going! Do they wish they were in bed? Am I ungrateful lying here awake??

• *Spends the night wide awake thinking about the previous day convinced it will send me off to sleep but it actually just has me worrying about the stuff that I could have done better*

• I won’t regret staying awake this late…..oh but you will when your eyes are as heavy as bricks tomorrow 😂

• How did I forget to get changed for bed?? 🙃

• I need to go to the toilet but there is a guitar case in the hallway that oddly resembles a person…even though I know what it really is I’m too scared to go out there.

• I wonder what so & so is doing right now 🤔 (they’re most likely asleep Lucy, seeing as its the middle of the night)….I bet they’re living through their dreams then….I wonder what they’re dreaming of? ✨….(and on and on and on 😂).

• If I went and stood in-front of that mirror would someone pull me in?….Now I can’t stop looking at the mirror waiting for someone to step out 😬 (On a serious note does anyone else try to catch their reflection out in the mirror? I always try to see if it fully copies me for some reason 🙈😂).

• Why does everything in my room look ten times more interesting at night? 😂

• Beds are like chargers for humans.

• Perhaps I should write a to do list for tomorrow?….if I don’t sleep I won’t be doing anything tomorrow 😂

And that’s that! Thank YOU for reading! I forgot how fun these types of posts are to write 😂 Are you a night owl or the complete opposite? What would you prefer to be? Let me know in the comments below and I hope you have a lovely day ❤️

  1. HAHA! 😂 I found this HILARIOUS! 😌 The first one was SOO true! Like honestly that can happen to me A LOT! But I’m not sure if I’m a night owl because I can’t relate to some of these…? But a lot of them I can…? I’m more of a late afternoon ear (I may have just invented something 😂) if that’s a thing, but I get most ideas in the morning… but I’m not an early riser 😅 They do say early bird gets the worm I guess…? Ah who knows 😫 Loved reading this, such an hilarious post! Stay safe xx

    1. Ahh thank you so much Amber!! 💕 I like the sound of a late afternooner 😂 I’d LOVE to have inspiration in the morning 😮 Sometimes if I’m up really late and the sun starts to rise I get inspiration from the golden glow starting to seep into my room but it’s still so early that I think it’s nighttime 😂 If the early bird gets the worm I wonder what the late bird gets? 🤔 Probably nothing but we appreciate what we can salvage all the same 😂 Really loved this comment so thank you! ✨❤️

      1. Aw anytime Elsie! 💗 Haha, me too! I do get a lot f my inspiration in the morning, but definitely a lot in the afternoon too! 😂 That must be so nice seeing the sunrise (it you must be so tired! 😆) but that would be so weird at the same time! Hmm 💭 Maybe the late bird gets the leftovers? 😂 For sure! I’m sure you guys get something! Aw of course – I really loved this post! 🌟 x

  2. Oh my gosh, I really enjoyed reading your post. Yes, I’m a night awl 🙂 We all know that night sleep is better than day sleep but I just can’t do it.

  3. Hahaha! That was so entertaining to read 😂😂😂 I totally loved the last one!! I’m not too sure if I’m a night owl or an early riser… it’s sort of an in-between of both, but i must admit creativity sparks during the night! 😂😂😂

    1. I can’t tell you how happy I am that you enjoyed it! It was a post I started ages ago and when I came across it in my drafts folder recently I got back into it again (I’d say it never thought it would see the light of day 😂). Would love to be in between the two! 🌙☀️ Doesn’t it! I wonder why 🤔 Maybe it’s because at night we’re not really trying hard to find inspiration so that’s when it wants to let itself be known 😂 Thank you so much for this lovely comment! 😄💕

    1. Haha, yeah it gets to a point where I can no longer think and I’m like: okay maybe I should just go with it and do what I’m supposed to do and actually sleep for once! 😂 Thank you so much for reading! 😄💕
