Summer nocturnality.

Something which happens to me at some point during summer is the the abrupt change of my sleeping pattern from sleeping during the night to sleeping during the day. It's very annoying, honestly. 

Google's definition (this is becoming a thing, isn't it?): 



Where was I... oh yeah, changing sleeping patterns, etc. Well basically I'm up all night and asleep for most of the day (usually till 1pm) because I find myself most productive at night. Take me as an example, I write most of these posts very late at night/ early in the morning, when I feel thoughtful, it's odd isn't it.

There's something I find intriguing about nocturnality. Maybe it's realizing that you are having your own little adventures whilst everyone is asleep. Maybe it's the appeal of silence and peace. The abundance of noise in the bustling city of London, sirens and horns going off willy nilly gets so annoying. It's nice to be able to appreciate the silence that is so infrequently present. 

But there is always the negative side. It's not the greatest thing to have your sleeping pattern constantly messed up. It leaves you tired at random points in the day and takes a toll on your social life. Missing planned get togethers because you accidentally slept in is the most annoying thing to happen, trust me.

I'm gonna try to sleep when I'm supposed to, but I highly doubt that it'll work. Let the owls roam during the night and let yourself dream about them.
