Using my telescope to look at stars. Only one star is visible during the daytime.

    this is just big telescope propaganda. in the day you don't even need a telescope to stare at the star.

    Everything. I've always been a night person, and doing everything is much more enjoyable when there's peace, no one is going to bother me, no one is going to call on the phone. Whether it is work or studying or watching movies or playing video games or exercise or anything...... It is always much better late at night.

    I've started trying to replicate this in the day. I leave most calls unanswered and most messages unreplied till I'm ready and free. I go to work in a shared office and put in earphones immediately. I try to go to work late and stay late. It isn't very effective.

    Literally anything for me. I'm a naturally very nocturnal person. If left to form my own sleep cycle without having to accommodate others, I fall asleep around sunrise.

    Same. Just really sucks when no one understands that's how you are and thinks your weird and/or doesn't factor that into things/ are not accommodating. If it was the other way around, they'd be upset.

    No engine noise, but also not having to pedal, just you and the forest. I love driving it at night as well :)

    Mapping with StreetComplete is my excuse to take it places, but I'm running out of places to map that can be reached either directly or by train (considering I also need to make it back before the trains decide it's sleepy time — I'd stay out overnight but more days than not there's work in the morning. Strange how that works :P)

    Mushrooms. Day trips have their place, but the night time is the right time.

    I made a big mistake going to Walmart at 2am on a Sunday... Never again.

    Not really sure what you mean. It was deserted in my experience, making grocery shopping pleasant.

    Contrast that with Winco at 2am where, at least here, it's more packed than the middle of an afternoon on the weekend.

  • My best thinking has always taken place at night, but I don't know why. Maybe one of these nights I'll understand. 😅

    Grocery shopping. Ideally later than 10pm. Safly fewer and fewer stores are open that late.

    Brainstorming for writing. I get some great ideas for worldbuilding and novel ideas laying down preparing to sleep.

    I remember reading in the Old Farmers Almanac that weeding is best done on dark nights, claimed that some seeds in the soil are stimulated when exposed to light, weeding in daytime causes more weeds to sprout than weeding in the dark. Never researched to see if backed by studies though.

    It's true and just makes sense when you touch plants enough. When it's hot everything's squeezed up and when it's cooling off it's letting go. Like breathing vs out. Idk how much of a difference the night being dark makes lol

    E: I apparently glazed over the bit about seed stimulation there, but night time is the right time for sure

    Pokemon go walk is better at night.

    We will go out to eat in the day often, and I strongly prefer an afternoon cocktail not any night drink.

    Usually our supper is around 9 (2100) because that's what the schedule allows, I wouldn't say I prefer it.

    Basically I am an afternoon/early evening person. But a night walk of any sort is so lovely.

    Maybe this is subjective, but rock concerts. Having bright lights, pyro, lasers and other theatrics contrasted against a dark sky is an experience that must be seen to be believed.

    Like, everything. At night I feel at peace and my mind is calm. The world is silent (at least where I live at night). I can watch tv shows, anime or a movie in peace. I can stare at the wall in peace, I can just… think and be an weird introverted dude.

    This. I love a rainy night when I can open the windows and hear the SsssssSSSssss of the rain fall.

    My coding work is better then; but I have to be up early, so it's not often I get to work like that.

    Most anything as long as it can be done quietly. When everyone else is asleep, nothing stops me from doing what I want. No need to worry my fanfiction singular word cannot be written and then be followed by writers block before being called to do other tasks.

    How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony. Look, how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold: There's not the smallest orb that thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins; Such harmony is in immortal souls; But, whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it. Come, ho! and wake Diana with a hymn: With sweetest touches pierce your mistress' ear, And draw her home with music. I am never merry when I hear sweet music. The reason is, your spirits are attentive: The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted... Music! hark! It is your music of the house. Methinks it sounds much sweeter than by day. Silence bestows that virtue on it. How many things by season season'd are. To their right praise and true perfection! Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion, And would not be awak'd. Soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony.
