stay up all night wandering about outside

seeing the sky turning blue is really cool and also its pretty quiet out but obv. you need to be careful where you go. But hanging out with a couple of mates all night is great fun. :)

I was chasing a girl around the campus and we even went off to a coffee house for a while… as we were walking back to our dorms the sky became more blue instead of black and that beginning of morning is worth seeing… also the night can be very peaceful and romantic.

This sounds like it would be a lot of fun. I think I’ll do this over the summer sometime. Have you done it alone or with friends?

That’s how it always feels when you stay up all night…going from light, to dark then light again. It makes you feel like you’ve been awake for days. Now when I stay up all night it’s for shift work, not nearly as fun as when I wandered about as a carefree teen.

It was…..

there are not words! One big observatory, you could see all the stars and the milky way too.
The landscape was glowing in the moon light and it was thoroughly enjoyable due to the nice company ;) and the warm temperatures.

I used to do it, cuz I thought I was cool at age 12 for sneaking out.

Now at 20, I do it to take photos of interesting and empty locations.
Sometimes, I do it just cuz my friends are up.

but only in the summer, cold is no fun.

totally worth doing as long as you’re not a minor in a city with a curfew and get caught by the po-pos

I did this a lot when I was on the cusp of age 20. It was liberating to be outside the normal schedule of waking consciousness. I felt close to the underlying rhythms of nature when I did it, even when I was in cities. However, this is not one of those things that is really good for your body. I would recommend not making a habit of it and also not doing it when you anything critical planned for the following few days. Some people are particularly sensitive to sleep pattern shifts and can temporarily experience muscle aches, digestive upset, mood swings, headache, difficulty regulating body temperature and blood sugar following a major sleep shift.
