How beautiful the silent hour, when morning and evening thus sit together, hand in hand, beneath the starless sky of midnight! – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Your Weekly Prompt – Midnight – August 19, 2021
➰➰➰
Being awake at midnight is a dubious pleasure
I can enjoy the quiet of the night without being disturbed
I can be alone with my creative thoughts and write my masterpiece
I can contemplate on the secrets of life and the universe, uninterrupted
~*~
But being awake at midnight means another attack of insomnia
It usually means that I’ll be awake till wee hours of the night
That I will be tossing and turning in my bed trying to catch the elusive sleep
Being awake at midnight is usually not on my list of priorities
➰➰➰

The middle of the night game of do I get up, or will I eventually fall asleep. Generally I fall asleep.

If I sleep before midnight, I stay asleep. But if I’m awake till midnight, it’s often the case that if awake till early morning.

I am a night owl and always have been. Was a big problem when I was in school and then when I was working! One of the perks of retirement is not having to get up early.

Yes, not needing to get up early is a great advantage if one is up late.

Great take on the prompt. I’ll think about you when I’m up at 3am pounding the keyboard 🙂

I have been a night owl for years, but insomnia and unending thoughts can keep me up much later than I wish to be. I do often get more writing done then though.

You’re right that awake alone at midnight, one can do a lot more but since I have to be up early, I feel stressed out if I am awake late.
