Howdy to you all, my fellow Midnight Owls,
Here is the new prompt for the Midnight Owls:
How would you convince an early sleeper to stay awake at Midnight
The last prompt was fun, and the midnight owls had one or two things to say on why they stay up at midnight. Some said it was gaming that was their excuse, others had other reasons, and so on. The last prompt from the community gave me an idea for this post. In this prompt, we aim to convince an early riser to stay awake like us, the midnight owls. I would like to see what you all have to stay that would make anybody want to stay awake. We all have that friend, spouse, or family member who falls asleep pretty fast before you say Jack Robinson. What would you tell them to make them stay awake past midnight? Be as convincing as possible.
Here are some post highlights from the previous midnight prompt, Game for the Midnight.

Right, let us get down to how I would convince an early sleeper to stay awake at midnight with me. For my mission of convincing this person, first, I would get to know the person. What makes them tick, or better still, what do they enjoy doing? I believe that every human being on this planet has something they like to do. When I discover what that is, next I will talk to them as well. My friend used to be an early sleeper, and I am talking about early, early. Once it is 9 pm on the dot, my friend is already crashing on his bed with some heavy snores, especially on days when he has had a hectic day at work. So what I did was I started slowly by first being considerate of why he sleeps that early. He is a 9 - 5 worker, so that means his Monday to Friday are always busy.
If you want to bring somebody over to your camp, you first have to be considerate of their plight by understanding why they are this way. Then, when I noticed it was because of work, I made it a routine from time to time for us to hang out on Friday nights under the disguise of TGIF (Thank God It's Friday). We get to chill with drinks, have some funny talks, and laugh about something that probably happened at his workplace during the week, and other times we would watch some football matches. Slowly, it became our Friday routine, and other times it could be video games at night, but it had to be on a Friday night since the next day was a weekend. Even though it was once a week, I could keep him up all through the night with gist, drinks, and games; that was enough. Now he looks forward to staying up at midnight on Fridays and on weekends.
What yours? How were you able to convince a friend or if you have, how would you do it?
