My Excuse For Being awake at midnight

Greetings everyone, I’m really glad to be part of this Midnight Owl community.

Sometimes midnight is one of my favorite times to work for a trader because I'm a forest trader, that's why I don't really have excuses to make when I wake up at midnight.

But sometimes I used to make excuses for being awake at midnight, because I know nature anytime I awake at midnight like that it will be very difficult to sleep again because At midnight, my thoughts finally catch up with me. Things I ignored during the day begin to surface: unfinished dreams, questions without answers, memories that refuse to sleep. It’s not that I don’t want rest; it’s that my mind wants clarity first. The darkness gives those thoughts permission to exist without interruption.

Sometimes, I stay awake because creativity wakes up when everything else rests. Words flow more freely, ideas feel deeper, and emotions make more sense. Midnight doesn’t rush me, it listens. In that stillness, I can write, reflect, and understand myself better than I can under the pressure of daylight.

Other nights, my excuse is hope. I stay awake imagining a better tomorrow, planning silently, praying softly, or simply believing that what I’m waiting for will eventually make sense. Midnight becomes a meeting point between who I am and who I’m becoming.

Thanks for reading.
