I Do My Best Work at Night
My mind works clearer in the night. My thoughts are sharper. I’m not bothered by any outside influences and I can stick to my subject better.
The time just before I fall asleep, is my favourite time to write. I’ve already said good night to everyone and closed all other apps, ready for sleep. Only me and the notes in my phone are left.
My body is relaxed already, but my mind is still buzzing. Sometimes it’s creative buzzing, sometimes anxious. It’s often hard for me to relax if I have anxious thoughts, and I know they will produce insane nightmares.
I feel lucky when it’s the former kind of buzzing in my head. I love the feeling, even if it keeps me from sleeping. If I’m completely honest, the feeling is sometimes artificially induced. The feeling of my muscles relaxing and slowly falling asleep, but before that, there is the perfect window for writing and thinking.
Sometimes I just lay there and think about things, and only good things. I entertain new photography ideas, dream and enjoy the feeling of the silk pillowcase against my cheek, and the cool air the fan blows towards my naked body.
I’m relaxed enough to almost fall asleep, but aware enough to write out my ideas. I think I still have about half an hour until my eyes close involuntarily.
It’s fun to wake up in the morning and see what I have written, because I often forget all about it. I end up with many drafts and ideas, sometimes sentenses half finished, and I can’t recall what I was trying to say. Quite often I pat my semi-concious mind in the back for coming up with great ideas.
I don’t feel bad for sunbathing and taking naps all day, because I know where my creative window is. It’s here, in the AM hours.
Passing out now....
Ps. if you want to see those pictures bigger and as finished versions, you need to come back here tomorrow evening.
Your mind is just like a computer
That upgrades whenever you sleep
It needs the time to get stronger
And giving you help with upkeep
Your memory is working so smoothly
But you just might need some more ram
It would speed up the process
And improve your thinking program
That buzzing you hear is not normal
It could be you need some repairs
Just let me know if you want them
I'll check, I might have those spares
If not, you can just take your chances
Because nothing might happen at all
But if, perchance, you don't wake up
Who would you like us to call?
Seriously nice piece. Very engaging, and the twist by the end is simply brilliant. I loved it
Appreciate that very much!
I remember the first post I ever saw of yours. It was a strange moment of clarity for me. I knew you were a creature of the night, and I knew I would be following your work forever after that moment. You are awesome @eveuncovered
This is the photo that put me under your spell:
There are times when I don't feel so great about Steemit. I see people leaving the platform, people suddenly not posting anymore, FUD all over the place, and then I think about Steemian's like you, who add a massive amount of value to the Steem blockchain, and it restores my faith.
Your dedication and talent motivates me, from your amazing self portraits, your dynamic literature, to your breathtaking landscape photographs.
People like you make Steemit awesome. Keep up the great work my friend. Much love.
How did I miss this comment earlier today!? Damn it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and all the compliments. Do not let other peoples FUD effect you negatively, it's a sheeps way. That is what I tell myself too. No use in wallowing, keep your head straight and stick to what you are doing. Thank you for being here.
I will come back for sure :) ... But I get your point, although I am a whole day person (no problems in the morning or at night) I tend to be more productive at night too... Have a great day :)
A whole day person, how, what, you weirdo! You can't be both morning and evening person, it's not fair!
lol, sorry.. But I really am... Don't have problems in the morning and not in the evening... Going late to bed, getting up just as early :) Often on summer holiday's I get out between 5 and 6 in the morning... Sitting outside, enjoying the peace and quiet and a cup of coffee of course :)
Good night. I should to more of writing spontaneous ideas down. It's frustrating when you remember having thought up something interesting but couldn't recall what it was to save your life.
I have learned to write everything down immediately! I have a quick access to notes on the down panel of my phone so I can write a new one fast where ever I am.
Could it be that your mind works clearer because you have no clothes on?
Nice! as always

I just love you, and not only in dirty way
Ööööö, what is for dinner?
I was thinking fish, is it ok?
And I have some really nice wine back to my place 😉
What the fuck is that, looks gross! The only edible thing I see is some pepper/jalapeno and a lemon slice.

what a great explanation of night time before sleep. Its wonderful to know all these mind positions and feeling good to know that. But you also need to rest properly so that your body and mind get charged to work for another day. But Seems you are very creative using time after switching off lights and before sleep. that's great @eveuncovered . isn't it ?
