why do i wake up at night?
i used to think it’s something ive learnt because of being constantly policed as a child. only got any privacy at night, novels with a torch under a blanket. then i thought maybe im just more efficient at night, found some scientific studies to confirm that. now i think that’s the only time i feel free.
the day is just obligations, bunch of stuff you must do because you cant do it later. attend classes, meet people, do “work”. but i only seem to wake up at night. after everyone has gone to sleep, i feel like i can have my way with my world and myself. that is when i feel the most in the moment, awake and in control. and that’s when i need to sleep since i do still need to attend to obligations.
