Why am I up so late??

I'm just a night owl. I don't get to bed until at least 4 am on a normal night. It doesn't matter when I wake up. Even if I wanted to go to bed earlier I wouldn't be able to. It's just always been this way. I'm not a daylight person nor have I ever been.
 
I don't have insomnia, but typically if I find myself not being able to sleep, I'll usually stay lying in bed playing with my 3DS or something. My 3DS is always near me, so I have some form of entertainment to help me go to sleep faster.
 
Most of the time I don't stay up past 1 AM, but there have been occasions where i've found it hard for me to keep asleep in bed and sometimes even end up waking up. It's not a regular thing but it does happen. Others i'll just nap for hours (like I did earlier today) and not feel like I even care.
 
I honestly enjoy when I can't go to sleep, lol..!

Then I end up playing a game..then falling asleep during that..ugh..
 
I get home from work late and that leaves me pretty tired, to the point where I'm usually too tired to sleep. It's a marvelously horrendous situation to find yourself in. But, on the bright side, I stay up late wasting time in games with friends or watching stuff before I eventually pass out. On rare occasions, I'll study.
 
Never had a night where I couldn't sleep through it at all but during the summer especially I tend to sleep really badly.. so I'm seriously not looking forward to this gross upcoming weather. I can't sleep with the windows open since it bothers me and the AC makes too much noise which is awful for a very light sleeper like me. lol. ;_; So I constantly wake up at night anxiously hoping it'd be morning.

Only time I stayed up all night was when I had to prepare for a presentation the next day that my friend and I didn't feel like practicing for beforehand. xD;
 
Every single night, I go to bed well after 11, usually because I'm so busy doing something on the computer. At times, though, even though I go to bed, it's difficult for me to fall asleep because I have so many things on my mind at that time. Almost always, these thoughts are what I have planned for tomorrow or in the near future.
 
This is sort of me every night. It takes me twenty minutes to fall asleep...when I'm sick and have absolutely no energy. Pretty sure it takes me forty or so on a good night. Sometimes melatonin helps...sometimes.

Worst case scenario I'll stay in bed and let my mind dump whatever it needs to. It never stops thinking in the day and doesn't even come close to calming down at night. Personally I think my internal clock is screwed beyond all repair, but that's just me.
 
I used to be a terrible sleeper. I would go to bed at around 3:00 AM and wake up around noon if I were off, or 9:00 if I was working.

Ever since we got our cat, however, I've been a lot better about it. My cat likes to wake me up at 6:00 AM so I can feed him, and after a while, I just decided to get up at that time. I now go to bed at around 11:00 PM and wake up at 7:00 AM, so I'm getting a full eight hours. It gives me more time in the morning to go on here, play some LoL, write, or whatever I feel like doing. I do need two cups of chai to get me started, but I like waking up early now, which is something I never thought I would say.
 
I often have difficulty falling asleep, and it sometimes extends to much of the night, though a lot of the time it's more like a delay falling asleep followed by a really vivid sequence of dreams. Last night, I had a lot on my mind, and had trouble falling asleep (only ended up getting 1-2 hours in the end, though that's better than nothing). To help with that, I frequently play a game for a bit and try to do something somewhat repetitive (e.g., breeding or raising low-level Pokemon where I have to sit through level up after level up). Most of the time, when I turn to a game for a bit, it helps; more of my problems arise when I'm convinced that I should just keep trying to close my eyes and sleep, and then I just sit there thinking.
