what to do when your friends are alseep for hours

Post Reply New Topic

Where I live now, my friends usually are asleep from 1pm to as late as 8pm! I feel left out because they're the only people I know around here. There's cIable t.v. but I get sick of watching tv all day. I get a little bit of interent from my friends phone, the rest I have to walk outside and endure swarms of mosquitoes. They don't want me to wake them up, but when they're awake sometimes they play Pokemon for hours and I don't have my DS so I can't join them. Sometimes I go to the bathroom and cry if I feel ignored. Occasionally I call my other friends but lately I feel like I just don't because they're grounded or I keep having to look up their numbers. I just can't stand to be bored for too long, the only other thing I can do is listen to my music. So I'm not sure how I shiould tell them I feel left out and not included without seeming whiny or pushy or clingy.

Well, I would start by asking them why they sleep in the middle of the day. Are they waiters? Strippers? Morons? Then proceed from that point. Try using a bullhorn. That always works well.

You can always adopt an equally bizarre sleep schedule. Or the bullhorn idea.

I'm pretty sure you should go with the bullhorn.

Write obscene words on their faces with a Sharpie.

Catch some mosquitoes from outside and dump them into your friends' mouths...

You'll need a very fine net, a funnel, and a vacuum with a reverse switch.

But it's just crazy enough to work.......

That seems like a really sucky situation. :\

Tell them this and be direct, that's the only thing I can think of.

I have an idea. Tell them that you get extremely horny in the middle of the day. They'll never be able to sleep again.

Haha that's funny...

Are they friends that you sometimes see, or are they housemates? Either way, that's their schedule of the moment and unless they have come over and are guests and then it's rude of them to sleep during the day like that at your house when you are up, unless you don't mind.

My very best friend will sometimes go to sleep like that when I'm visiting. She may go into her bedroom and shut the door and I have the run of the house, or she may nap on the couch. Either way, I have the run of the house then. She's divorced and lives alone, with a lot of "boyfriends" who come over, and she's very messy. I hate mess. Guess what I do while she's sleeping? The same thing I do at my house all day. I clean her house and put something in the oven to cook, and I get on her laptop in between. She doesn't really mind. She only minded once, when I put away all the clean laundry in her bedroom that was piled at the foot of her bed, on the floor and was a higher pile than her bed. She just shoves clothes in various drawers and that's wrong, so I fixed it all. She couldn't find things for weeks! She would be getting ready to go out and had to call me to ask where something was. I knew where it was and told her. That was the only time she got upset over it and now I am not to mess with her clothing organizational system as she calls it and thats the wrong thing to call it because there is no organization there at all, if you don't count "what I just took out of the dryer is on top" and I don't count that. At all.

You may have to simply accept that that is what they are doing then and find something else to do around your house or online. When I am home and everything has been done, and I am so bored I can't think straight and there is nothing I want to watch or do online, I organize closets and drawers. I like organizing things, so that's actually fun for me. Also, there is a site called StumbleUpon. You put in your preferences for what you like to look at online and press a button and it gives you a random site that meets your preferences. You might want to Google it. When I first found it, I spent weeks on it.

I sleep then because the temperatures and light in the daytime are intolerable to me.
While I doubt they have the same sensitivities, many people simply don't adhere to a sleep-at-night-awake-during-the-day routine,
because there's no reason to.

Are you a vampire?

I'm serious.

Yes.
