This always fucks me over. I get sleepy while driving and coffee doesn't work on me. I try singing and that keeps me awake but it distracts me and then I'm not as focused on the road. e_e So then I turn the GPS on and usually it's on mute but I un-mute it so the annoying voice brings me back to focus whenever I need to make a turn. And I bring a snack like an apple or pear to nom in the middle of the drive. This is for like, 40-minute drives, mind, not anything shorter. Also, only drives I'm very familiar with, otherwise the stress of driving will fill me with adrenaline and I'll definitely not fall asleep. (Yay anxiety!)
But even when not driving, I'm practically falling asleep all day every day. As long as there's nothing to do I'm in a state of tiredness - this is mostly during daylight hours because I'm 7 hours ahead of everyone online so there's nothing happening. I take a lot of short naps. :\ I'm also low on vitamin D which makes me tired and is affected by my constant sleeping during daylight, lol... But since coffee doesn't work on me idk what to do about it.
Do energy drinks work based on something other than caffeine? :v

Done.
I don't like staying up during the day as well. My times are mostly the same as yours. How do you cope with it? Everybody complains that I'm always asleep, but I can't help it if that's what my body prefers!

Wait, you guys are nocturnal? *tilts head* How does that make sense?
Anyway, (to be somewhat on topic) I forgot to mention that I usually take a short nap in the bus (it's a 1 1/2 hour drive), which is...nice and umm, sort of related to this... I've also found that music sometimes help me sleep, though if it's too awesome I just get too exited to fall asleep so... yeah ^^

Done.
Yeah, I hunt rats at night when my vision is better, since during the day my eyes can't take the light. I then go back to my nest during daylight to sleep and take care of my eggs so that some stupid weasel doesn't eat them.

If you're an owl that can talk, you are my friend. Like, best friend. Ever.

Uh, I didn't do it.
I work a night shift, it's easier to work night shifts if being awake at night is your normal thing. It's just how I am. I sort of prefer night though, I'm not sure as to why; night just seems more exciting to me.
Like right now I am losing my mind because it's sunny and there's snow and I have to wear sunglasses because it's so fraking bright. (I got called in for second shift.)

An extremely equivalent exchange.
I bite my hands to keep me awake. Really hard. Not blood or anything, but there are teethmarks in me for the rest of the day. Used to do the face-slap thing, but it sort of makes people stare at you. Have to be up at seven so on weekdays computer is off by twelve, but on weekends and such I periodically stay up into I'm too tired to.
