I have a problem. My mom sleeps about four to five hours a night and needs help getting into and out of bed. My father goes to sleep around 1 AM and gets up at around 10 AM or so, and gets her up shortly afterward. I usually end up taking my mom into bed some time between 4 AM and 6 AM, going to sleep a little while later, and waking up around 3-4 PM or so. Is there anything social to do in the world outside my house between, say, 2 AM and 5 AM?
I hope you don’t mind if I don’t answer your actual question, but wouldn’t it be a better option to sleep before taking your mom into bed, so you have sleep from 10 PM to 5 AM? What you’re currently doing seems to equate to night-shifts, which are really bad for health, AFAIK. It would also help solving your problem of finding something social to do, I guess—that should be a lot easier in the evening.

I’m not sure I can actually do that, but I’ll keep it in mind.
Seems like those are your prime Internet hours, and you can be meatspace-social when 99% of the world isn’t asleep.
Seems to depend pretty strongly on where you are.
Yeah… the only local places I know of that are open 24 hours are a McDonalds and a Starbucks. :(
