It's 3:07 AM as I'm writing this. I'm usually awake at this time during the night. I'll likely be awake for another few hours or so. My sleeping patterns are something that leaves so much to be desired. Whenever I try to get my sleep cycle back on track, it quickly gets off track within a matter of days. Or, perhaps being more brutally honest. A day.

At this point, I'm really used to being up late. What to expect as far as noises go, what activities I could do, what I could eat if I'm hungry. It becomes fairly routine after a while. And it's certainly been a while...

Thankfully, I live in the modern era. We have so many things to keep us entertained up around this hour. At least, without leaving the house. I'm able to relax in my room, watch plenty of Netflix to keep one entertained for days on end, or should I feel in the mood, I can load up my Steam account and watch the time float by as I play video games.

However, It certainly gets... boring. Really, really fast. As entertaining as Netflix or Steam can be, doing the same thing over and over gets dull. Very, very dull. You can only watch a new TV series on Netflix for so long until you decide there needs to be some sort of change. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over without going crazy. And that perhaps is one of the most annoying about not being able to get to sleep easily during the night. While there is plenty to do... there really isn't that much to do.

Now, I know that sounds like a first world problem. But if the only thing you can decide to do for entertainment is stuff you've all done before, stuff in which, you know exactly what to expect. Is it really as entertaining as it should be? No, not really. Sure, I could start a new Netflix TV series. But with so many choices for what is supposed to be "The best show on Netflix" and most TV shows need a few episodes to take off and get good. It's not always easy to find some new material to get engrossed in.

Usually, whenever I do find a really entertaining product, the hours fly by, and before I know it. It's already 7!

It's interesting when it gets this late. The house gets quiet, no more noises from my family or anything else. Sometimes it gets almost terrifying, feeling that alone and vulnerable. While at other times it's liberating and relaxing. Not having to worry about the day to day problems for at least a little while. Ultimately? I guess it's a 50/50 split on if the night is entertaining. What is it tonight? That's anyone's guess.
