I can’t believe when I was in university, people would start pre-drinking at 10PM so they could go out already drunk and not have to pay for drinks at the clubs.

I remember doing that well into my early 20s, but instead so that I wouldn’t spend nearly as much on $7 beers. Now if I’m not home by midnight at the absolute latest I turn into a grouchy pumpkin.

10pm seems late, lol.
Then again, my social circle would get off work, usually staggered by a few hours as people got off.
Then we’d head to the nearby watering hole and join in the festivities that were ongoing from people who opened lol.
Shop doors were shut by 8pm, give the floor a quick pass to clean up any major debris left over from the day (IE: run the push broom over all floors, scoop up, and dump) and then just making sure that a few things were stocked sufficiently for the morning. Like commonly used oils for oil changes.
Now… well,
Bed time is 9pm. I’m not currently working, but want to maintain a reasonable day shift for when I find work. I prefer overnight, but that doesn’t seem to be an option where I moved.
Wife gets up, I get up, and start with applying for jobs and housework. Weekends mean she is working 7a to 7p, medical work, so standard. So we’re up by 6:30 to get some food/caffeine in us before she works - though, if neither of us are hungry, I’ll acquire any caffeine needed and cook later. I’m not cooking at 6:30am. Period. I will burn myself, one of the animals, or my wife, or the house down so… no, I need caffeine first, lol.

I like to be home by 11, so there’s room for a little chill time before I actually have to go to sleep!
Getting home and immediately going to bed is the worst!

I can’t. Literally can’t.
I will not fall asleep unless I spend some time unwinding first. Preferably alone.
No, not a masturbation reference, but I just need some quiet and not have to remember every little social rule that no one ever explained to any extent, at least to me, seems like others have an idea though.
Its a time to let go of social anxiety build up.
Coworkers make the anxiety worse, friends too, my wife as well. It builds up and I need a couple hours by myself to let that fade before I have a chance of sleeping, even with my meds, some of which are prescribed simply to knock my ass out.
Then again, as a teenager, I stayed up 9 days straight before a doctor snowed me and I crashed. No, it wasn’t some attempt, it was straight insomnia - it sucked tremendously. Also, no, not coke, being “snowed” on an EEG (brain waves) means the medication has caused such a response in the brain, you’re just getting the EEG equivalent to static on an untuned channel, so I have issues with sleep, and have since childhood.

I feel that, if I’ve been tying one on I’m not likely to crash out immediately, but being home at a reasonable hour certainly saves from going overboard.
