Step
Part 1 of 4: Preparing to Stay Up late
Step 1. Decide when you want to stay up late
Don't stay up late if you have to go to school the next day because you can fall asleep while taking lessons. Choose a day on the weekend or another day, but make sure the next day you are off. Start making preparations at 04.00 pm. Tidy up the bedroom because you will be working all night here.
Step 2. Prepare the things needed
While waiting for your parents to fall asleep, try to keep yourself active. For that, prepare everything needed in the room, such as cellphones, tablets, devices for playing games, MP3 players, novels, magazines, agendas, stationery, snacks, drinks, and others.
- Have a snack (can be salty or sweet) in the room and a drink (maybe sugary, such as soda or fruit juice), but not necessarily cold. In addition, prepare water.
- If you want to use the computer, turn it on before bedtime because the computer will make a sound when it is turned on. Do not forget to turn off or lower the computer volume.
Step 3. Plan the activities you want to do
Make sure the electrical power of electronic devices is fully charged by charging them from noon. Make a list of activities that you want to do because you stay awake if you are busy.
Step 4. Get some sleep before staying up late
Sleeping 1-1½ hours is enough if the day before you stay up late you sleep well at night.
Part 2 of 4: Pretend To Sleep
Step 1. Implement a nightly sleep schedule
Don't do anything suspicious before bed at night. Carry out your usual nighttime routine, such as brushing your teeth and saying goodnight to the rest of the house.
Step 2. Be prepared if your parents come to see you in the room
If this is part of your bedtime routine, hide the prepared equipment first, then pretend to be asleep. When the bedroom door is opened, you should lie still, but it is also okay to move a little as if you are asleep.
- Don't snore, unless you normally snore.
- Pull the blanket over your face if you can't relax your face.
- Play a song to hear sounds from inside the room. So, the sound of a song can be a lifesaver in case you accidentally make a sound.
Part 3 of 4: Fun All Night
Step 1. Wait about 1 hour before leaving the room
This step is done to make sure the whole house is asleep. If needed, go to the sitting room to find out where they are. If a family member is still chatting in the living room and asks why you haven't slept, say that you heard a suspicious sound. If the whole house has gone to bed, stand in front of the door of the parents' room while listening to whether there is a sound from inside the room. If there was no sound, maybe they were asleep. If they're still chatting, wait 15-30 minutes in your room, then sneak your way to your parents' door to check again.
Step 2. Dim the room lights
Tuck the foot mat in the gap of the door so that the light is not visible from the outside.
Step 3. Start having fun
As soon as the parents seem to have fallen asleep, you are ready for action (10am-12pm). Take your device out to play games, computers, laptops, or other devices.
Wear headphones or earphones when using electronic devices, such as laptops or computers, so that there is no sound in the room
Step 4. Enjoy midnight activities
A new day has come (12.00-02.00 am)! Take time to eat snacks if you are hungry or drink water. Continue playing the game until you feel bored.
Step 5. Do another activity
In the early hours of the morning (2:00am-4:00am), put away your device to play a game, then read a book, draw, or watch a movie (no sound!). Go to Facebook or other social media. Make sure none of your parents' friends are your friends on Facebook because they can report your activities to your parents. Do not forget to turn down or turn off the sound of the device you are using.
If you want to send a message, set the notification tone to vibrate or silent so the parents don't wake up
Step 6. Have a snack
Take time to eat snacks between 04.00-06.00 in the morning. Do the activities that have been planned until 05.00 am, then get ready to start the morning routine. Tidy the bedroom, take a shower, brush your teeth, and do your hair.
Step 7. Wait until the schedule wakes up in the morning
If the whole house usually wakes up at 06.00-09.00, stay in the room. While waiting, you can fill out crossword puzzles or read magazines until you want to have breakfast with your family. This is the end of the late night show!
Part 4 of 4: Getting some sleep
Step 1. Prepare yourself for daily activities
If you want to do activities after staying up late, for example worshiping or meeting friends, take time to sleep for at least 4 hours before getting up in the morning so you still have time to sleep. The next night, try to go to bed earlier because you don't get a good night's sleep.
Tips
- Wear socks if you want to walk on tile or wood floors so you don't hear your footsteps. If you need to walk in your room when you stay up all night, find out how the floor creaks when you step on it so you can avoid it. When the fan is turned on, the sound of the fan blades can mask the sounds when you are on the move. In addition, the bedroom feels cooler when the weather is hot.
- Lock the connecting door between your parents' room and yours (if you have one) before pretending to sleep. Don't fall asleep while you're pretending to be asleep! You can sleep if you lie in a dark room with your eyes closed. If you are very sleepy, lie down for a while, then get up again so you don't fall asleep. However, don't regret it when you fall asleep. This means you need to sleep.
- You will stay awake if you drink enough water. Be careful if you need to go to the restroom so no one wakes up.
- Take a shower before lying down and pretend to sleep. If you are very sleepy, wet your face with cool water, but don't make a sound.
- Collect the trash in a plastic bag, then put it in the trash can under the kitchen trash so that parents don't see it so they don't suspect it. If there are pets in the room, try not to disturb your activities or make noise.
- Do not wear headphones while listening to songs or watching movies. Lower your voice so you know when someone walks into your room. Before starting an exciting or stressful activity while staying up late, wait a few hours for the parents to fall asleep. First of all, use your phone to play games while waiting. Be patient because many parents go to bed late.
- Prepare snacks whose packaging is not noisy when opened. Bring food and drinks into the room before saying goodbye to go to bed. Adjust the position of the bed so that there is a distance to hide the device or book that is being held when your parents visit you in the room. If your nightgown has pockets, put food in the pocket. If there are no pockets, put food in containers. Be careful that parents don't see/know it.
- Try to remember what time your parents usually visit you in your room. Hide equipment and prepared items, then pretend to be asleep. If you usually stay up late at night, don't pretend to be asleep when your parents come to see you in your room because they will be suspicious! If your parents check your website browsing history regularly, remove the links you accessed during the night so they don't appear on your computer screen.
- Don't stay up late if you have to do activities in the morning the next day, for example praying or consulting a doctor. Make sure you get a quality night's sleep to keep your body healthy and fit because it can affect the results of health checks (such as blood pressure and heart rate).
- If you start to feel sleepy, do yoga postures, gymnastics, muscle stretches, or light exercise. This exercise can activate the muscles so that you are not sleepy. Make a plan of activities that will be done when you stay up late. For example, playing a game until you get bored, then watching a movie. Prepare a schedule so you can pass the time throughout the night without falling asleep. However, you will sleepy and irritable the next day. So don't stay up late if the next day you have to do an important task or fulfill an irrevocable appointment.
