The Cycle of a Late Night

7pm

Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, CNN

Check all your websites before you begin.

8pm

You’re doing fine.

Just going to have coffee instead of wine.

9pm

You’re on a roll.

Not doing too bad on the whole!

10pm

Eating, drinking, munching, munching.

Going strong with projects and number crunching.

11pm

For the first time, you feel a little stiff…

Maybe you just need a tiny lift.

12am

Now you are really quite restless,

But the first paper was completely effortless.

1am

On to project number two,

If you’re up past 4, what are you doing to do?

2am

Adrenaline starts to really kick in,

And you drink so much coffee, that your head will spin.

3am

The clock surely can’t be right?

ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO BE UP ALL NIGHT!?

4am

Doing final edits, and you’re…

almost…

done.

Come on now, wasn’t that kind of fun?
