How I did it: How to Stay up Late Secretly
So you want to stay up late, huh? It's not that difficult!
- Go to bed at your regular time. Don't rush to bed or your parents will suspect something or question you.
- Make sure you have something to pass a few hours.
- Wait quietly until your parents go to bed by reading, listening to an IPod or MP3 player, or watching TV with headphones.
- Listen for when your parents go to bed. Drop everything and get into bed straight away. Pretend you are asleep. If you live in a house with no stairs, put something at the bottom of your bedroom door to block out the light from anyone who might look down a hall
- Take care that everyone is asleep before moving. You may have to wait a little while, perhaps an hour , to make totally sure your parents are fast asleep.
- Sneak downstairs and watch movies or do that homework that is due tomorrow! This is the fun part!
- Make sure you get back to bed at a reasonable time or you will be tired and your parents will know about it!
- Have an excuse ready if you are found out of bed. If you are discovered awake, say that you are just going to the bathroom or are getting a glass of water. However, if you are caught going for a drink repeatedly in one night, your parents will suspect something. Of course, you could just tell them that you couldn't sleep.
Tips
- If you're using a computer, watch out, because in the dead of night, the fan can be audible for about ten seconds after it's powered off.
- When you sneak downstairs, try to make as little noise as possible, especially if your parents are light sleepers. The noise could wake them up.
- Stash gear ahead of time.
- Stay under the covers whenever possible. If your parents come in, even if you think you're caught, just stop moving imediately and stay completely still. It takes their eyes a while to adjust, and they'll doubt themselves rather than risk waking their peacefully sleeping child.
- Use headphones, or make sure what you are doing is quiet.
- Don't forget to have a flashlight and batteries. If your flashlight is a bit to bright try putting it in a sock, it hurts your eyes less and your less likely to get caught. Better if it's small. If you can, get a red LED one, the LED will use less battery power, and the red light won't ruin your night vision.
- Try to get a few soft toys or pillows, and make it into a rough body shape. This way, if your parents come to check on you, they will think you are in bed.
- In most houses, the air conditioning comes on and stays on for 10-20 minutes, then it stays off for the same amount of time. Making your move when the air conditioner is on decreases the risk of being heard.
- If you have a brother or a sister, you could get them involved for extra fun, and you can blame it on them if you get caught!
- If you get caught in the hall, say you heard something or need to go to the bathroom.
- If you have a quiet alarm clock (an IPod with an alarm function and headphones, a cell-phone with a vibrate alarm, or something similar), then you can go to sleep, and get up very early (~2-3 AM). Don't go back to sleep; just stay in your room when your parents get up. This way, you will not have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, and will not be suspected.
- If you stay up all night, and have a fan, keep it on all night, and in the morning get back in bed. Your parents wont suspect anything!
- You don't have to get out of bed. Just sneak your DS in the covers, and keep toys on your table next to your bed. Keep some LEGO toys or whatever you want to do on there. If your parents check on you, ...don't... move. Just keep your eyes closed and breath a little slower.
- Have a shower right before you go to bed. It'll perk you up enough to stay up for quite a while.
- This one is quite complex, and I'm going to have to do it in steps:
- 1) Buy an energy drink. I recomend Amps or Jolts. No red bulls.
- 2) Store it between your window and screen/by your window. It's cold at night, so the glass will keep it cool.
- 3) Open it in advance, so you don't hear it in the night.
- 4) Drink it gradually, but don't sip. Chug, but don't have too much. You want it to last you the rest of the night.
- If you went on the computer, and your parents wake up, don't go through logging off and all the loading and stuff, just press the off button on the monitor. This will only shut off the monitor and you can turn it right back on. Your parents probably will be too tired to check the processor.
- Avoid walking around barefoot or in socks. This causes creeks and cracks in the floorboards. Use slippers, or better yet, attach sponges to your feet.
- My parents know I go to sleep with the t.v. on, so I just stay up and watch it and if they come in, they think I forgot to turn it off.
- If you have a gate (at the top/bottom of your stairs) open it BEFORE you go to bed. It will make too much noise when you open it.
- If you have a bunk bed and don't feel like being suffocated by putting heavy blankets over you try tucking a thick blanket under the top mattress and over the sides so less light leaks through if your using a flash light.
- If you are in your room when your parents come to check on you, keep your back to the door. Don't make it too obvious. (This is done because some parents can sense if your sleeping or not.
- Eating something spicy helps
Warnings
- Attempt at your own risk.
- Be quiet at all times and at all costs!
- Get to bed at about midnight or this will totally give the game away.
- Make sure you put everything in exactly the same place as you left it when you go to bed.
- You may get caught if you are unexperienced at this sort of stuff, and you may get a very bad punishment if you get caught.
- If your parents are night owls, be extremely careful.
- Make sure you get sleep. No sleep can result into very bad habits.
- If you plan to stay awake all night, make sure you do it on a weekend night.
- Also if you are going to stay awake all night, just casually ask your parents in the day what time they are going to bed, maybe you could slip the question into a conversation.
- Don't put off homework until late at night before it is due. A little work ahead of time can save you much sleep.
- Your parents might lose all their trust in you if they find out.
- Try to avoid using your siblings, they can get you in big trouble and blame it all on you!
Things You'll Need
- An mp3 player or an ipod.
- Handheld video games such as a ds or psp
- Possibly a book.
- Possibly a sibling.
- An exuse or a back up plan if you get caught.
- Something or somewhere to hide everything if your parents come.
- Soft pillows or toys.
- A flashlight, the smaller the better
