Instead of Sleeping

Its 3am right now. I can't help but wonder what everyone is doing.

I just woke up. Lately I wake up at a random hour every night and it takes me another hour or 2 before I can go back to enjoying my slumber. I decided to spend my hours awake tonight blogging, since it's been a while.

I suspect there are 12-year-old girls out there trying to force themselves to stay awake at a sleepover so that they can gossip and make prank calls all night. (Just for the record 12-year-old boys don't do the same thing. They go to bed when they're tired and sleep until you wake them up and annoy them with your prank call.)

Other 12-year-old children have already had they're first or second or umpteenth clubbing experience tonight - drinking and drugs may or may not be included. These CHILDREN are probably now "bowing down to the porcelain king" (throwing up into the nearest toilet).  But do not fret, they make the decision to never drink and party again ( the same decision they made last week, and  the week before, and the week before...)

Typical teenagers are doing everything from recovering from a bad trip (smoking marijuana that wasn't only marijuana *or another drug) to being as high as a kite. They're out clubbing or home from a good decent party that didn't get rowdy at all. Some of them just went to their church's youth group and came home. Others SAID they were going to youth and actually went smoking behind a bush or walked off to a club. It's tough to tell what teens are doing right now, but it mostly comes down to either partying or passed out.

As for the older generations: those in their 20s are similar to either the teenagers (except they don't have to tell their parent anymore) or the 30-somethings. Those in their 30s are probably asleep, some might have been woken up by a crying child and some might have gone out to try and show that they've still got "it". In your 40s and 50s people generally try to get as much sleep as possible, so they are probably asleep now, if not bailing they're 20-something out of jail. From ages 60 to 100, unless they have insomnia or some other ailment that has them in a lot of pain, they sleep through the night like a snail. (Apparently snails can sleep from up to 3 years.)

This post is of course not accounting for all the hanky-panky going on.
But what do you think people do at 3am?
