How late do you stay up on a typical night?

People are "horrified" because they would presume that at 26, you would need to be able to hold down a job and be responsible enough to turn up to it in a sufficiently functioning state.

You could, of course, work a job that has hours allows you such sleeping schedule. Hard to tell. You gave no context.

Depends on if I have to work the next morning. Work nights, usually around 8-9pm. Nights I don't have to work the next morning about 10pm.

LOL OP it sounds like you're talking about a very specific pain in your ass :P... my bedtime is anywhere between 10 pm and 3pm... according to whether I have to work the next day or not :P

I don't go to bed at night. I stay up at 8:00 am and go to sleep then wake up at 5:00 and I do that every day.

Whenever I get tired or pass out.

usually 4:00

12pm is noon... I don't think that's what you meant to say. Midnight or just a little later is typical for me.

(But last night I stayed up until 4, due to the meteor shower.)

You mean 12am and that's about my usual bedtime since I've started working.

6AM was the closest to me, so I chose that. It's usually either 7AM, with a 10AM alarm, or just no sleep if I don't feel as tired on that particular morning.
