Is anybody else here a night owl?

When I first began staying up until 5/6am it was during the summer in high school. I would stay up talking to my online friends all in far away time zones that I could only connect with due to my flipped sleeping schedule. It’s not anything special, but at the end of each night I would stick my head out of my bedroom window and watch how calm and still my street was. I would be able to hear the fountain in my neighbours bird bath running peacefully whilst everything stood at peace. I can still remember how the strong sense of calm I felt in those moments. It’s something I can only recreate by staying up until the early hours of the morning.

I would love to hear other people's stories if you can relate at all!
