The 7 Stages Of Being A Night Owl

The vicious cycle of day and night-time wakefulness.

The 7 Stages Of Being A Night Owl
Sleep Better Live Better

There are some people who like to start and take on the challeges of their day at the crack of dawn. But there are also people who are the complete opposite and find themselves awake untill the wee hours of the morning. For all of you night owls out there like myself, I am sure you can relate.

1. Wide-Awake Alertness

This is how you start out your night almost everyday. When everyone else is losing steam and falling asleep you’re probably still wide-awake, observing and with several more hours of wakefulness to go.

2. Productivity

You have a few extra hours on everyone else, and so you decide to make use of them. People are often shocked at how much you can get done after everyone else goes to sleep.

3. Loopy Fatigue

You’re up so late and finally ready to go to sleep, but it’s just not happening. You think you might be going crazy you’re up so late and you’re not sure you can take much more.

4. The Shortest Sleep

You finally fall asleep and then it feels like you’re awake and having to start the day twenty minutes later. It wasn't deep enough at all and you're not sure you're going to make it all the way through another night.

5. Day-Time Tiredness

You try so hard to get things done during the day, to stay awake and focused, but you got so much done last night anyway that it probably doesn't matter and you just want to get quick naps in wherever you can.

6. Caffeine Dependence

To help fight off the mini naps that keep creeping up on you throughout the day you probably develop a caffeine dependence and you most-likely don't feel like a real person until you've had at least one cup of coffee.

7. The Cycle

After you've acquired your caffeine, you're awake enough to operate once again late into the night and the whole cycle starts all over again.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
