Look at the stars.

[–] TaeKwonDoh@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

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.

Watching scary movies

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.

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

[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 2 points 6 days ago

Fine, I guess I'll look at the one available star with my telescope.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

Getting drunk. Day drinking just seems weird.

Playing horror games, watching horror movies.

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ecstasy. With glow sticks.

Alternatively, smoking weed and watching nature documentaries until you fall asleep.

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Stargazing, howling to the Moon, cinepark.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Rumo161@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

May I interest you in some sex and rock&roll as well?

[–] Rumo161@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

That comes with the territory, i expect.

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

walking the neighborhood for leisure/exercise/recreation

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

Steal stuff.

[–] ElGrande@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

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

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

Me, too! Eating out under the covers. At least until she gets too sensitive.

[–] UnityDevice@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Watching a movie.
