Title: Is there a connection between atheism and sleep?
Post by: quizlixx on June 20, 2009, 05:17:55 AM
I was reading some forum posts, looking at when people joined, and i noticed that most members signed up late at night. I wonder if there's anything to that?  :hmm:

Hmm...they could have been from the other side of the pond.  Or a night owl like I am.  I don't think it has anything to do with being an atheist...I've stayed up late since I was a child.

The explanation could be:

I post late at night because I have chronic pain which often keeps me from sleeping so I get up and do something to distract myself.  I also post late on other forums.

My favorite time of day is early morning, though I do enjoy to romp through the wilderness in the light of the full moon.

Sometimes I sleep 16 hours a day.  After that happens, I generally stay up late the next night.

I did go completely nocturnal for a few weeks there, but now I have to work...

I'm just a night owl here, but I guess my atheism could be a product of my being a "child of darkness" (was called that by a Christian friend the same day he heard I was an atheist.  He's since gained some understanding (namely that I'm not compelled by "dark" forces), but I suppose some might see a link between my circadian cycle and my heretical nature.   lol
