3am ramblings

i don't think i make much sense at 3am.

in fact,
i don't think anyone makes much sense at 3am.


but then again, some of the best inspiration comes at 3am.


do you ever wake up in the middle of the night (let's just go with 3am), and have some huge idea. or inspiration. or even epiphany?
i know for me some of the best lyrics i've written have been the result of 3am ramblings.


maybe it's because we're so emotional by this stage that our true feelings begin to show? or maybe it's because we're then overtired from this emotion that causes us to lose our minds?
why do we even let ourselves get to this stage though?


i mean, 3am ramblings, ideas, inspirations, whatever you would like to call them - have become a fact of life. even businesses are endorsing it - kikki k even has a '3am journal'. claiming that 'some of the best ideas happen after dark.'


i suppose this is an infinite question. it's personal opinion. it's personal experience. it depends on how much you like sleep! make up your own mind.


what do you think about at 3am?

  1. It's true. I think because (for most people), 3am is sleeping time. And sleep is so personal, it's a time when you can be alone with your own thoughts, and not be influenced by anyone else's voice. Your 3am thoughts are purely your own. Overtired may be a part of it - but only in the sense that it lowers your inhibitions a bit and you can express yourself more freely. When you're thinking at 3am, you don't hold back. I think I like 3am ramblings.
