Thank you – I will endeavour to provide space and quiet respect to my fellow humans that require a more quiet existence. C

I feel like I’m a little late to the game in posting this, but I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. I don’t take walks at night or anything, I just like to stay up late, maybe watch some TV, listen to music, or write. Of course, when all my ideas usually come to me, it’s in the middle of the night.

I find that there is nothing more beautiful and peaceful then New York City after 2 or 3 AM. Especially on a weekday.

I could cry. I thought I was peculiar and eccentric. Yes to night dwelling. It is so peaceful and tranquil. I have constructed a whole identity around it. I live in New York City. One of the loudest most populated cities in the world. However despite popular belief. It isn’t the city that doesn’t sleep. As dangerous as it may sound to others, I go for long walks at night through the city. I watch the skyline over the East River from my Brooklyn neighborhood. I play guitar, read and complete my best work at these hours.

Many have viewed this behavior as odd because they do not understand it. It is the only time I can be myself at my own pace without all of the egos that bask in the glow of the sunlight.

I have been this way my entire life. I never used to join the family for dinner but instead wait to everyone went to bed to heat up a small meal of my own. I pride myself on being a nocturnal creature.

I often think that I should find myself a night-job so I could be out and about when the world is thankfully peaceful and devoid of loud people.

I enjoy sleep immensely, my favourite part of the day is often the twenty minutes spent in bed before unconsciousness descends. I wonder why it is that I crave unconsciousness so much? Could it be that it is one of the few times when I can escape from this noisy world?

I have to laugh at this! The other “morning,” (3 a.m.) I was out walking the dogs along a trail that follows a meandering creek. Unexpectedly, we encountered another person, which rarely, if ever, happens. I apologized for my dogs’ curiosity at finding another out at such an hour. The guy gruffly said, “You aren’t the only night dweller.”

And while I laughed at his comment, it made me think. I never considered myself a “night dweller,” for when I’m out and about at such an hour, it means that I’ve already enjoyed 8 hours of peaceful sleep. I’m a VERY early riser…but that’s another side of the same coin, I see now. I just choose to dwell on the night-into-day side of it all.
