When you are an old man with a bladder and a prostate you can look forward to waking up every few hours to take a leak. I am not sure if there is anything a young man can do to take care of their prostate.
I guess we need to come up with some benefit to waking up every few hours during the night. What I have to watch out for is eating and drinking something when I wake up.
So I wake up and I check my email. I get fewer emails at night.
I check CNN and check some blogs.
I live near a CVS and a Walgreens I wish they were open 24 hours.
At night there is not much open. There a couple of convenience stores open 24 hours. Both of them are about six blocks from here. I never go to them.
Most of my life I worked the midnight shift. On my days off I would stay up and keep the same hours and clean house. For about a year I went to a casino and would gamble every night. That was fun to have an entire casino to myself. No waiting for a machine. No lines. That entire year I kept track of how much I won and how much I lost. I had a lot of winning nights but at the end of the year when I did that math, of course, the house won and I lost.
What is something you can do at night that you can not do during the day?
I guess I could take up astronomy. If I lived around a wild life area I could take up photography of nocturnal creatures.
Keep in mind that I do not own a car. So I am limited in what I can do and were I can go.
I should study and upgrade my ham license. I should get a general class license. Then I could get on the shortwave ham bands and talk around the world.
There are some very good and cheap shortwave receivers now days. Radio Shack even sells a couple. I could buy one of those and listen to some shortwave radio stations late at night. That reminds me about cable TV. I pay a lot of money for cable TV channels. I am happy with all the channels but why in the world do so many of the channels run infomercials all night long? A lot of people are up all night. There are a lot of people that work the third shift (midnight or graveyard shift) and it sort of seems like a slap in the face to them. (Sometimes when you work the midnight shift you need a slap in the face to stay awake.)
If you are a young man take care of your prostate and then you can sleep all night like a normal human. Not sure how you take care of a prostate however.
