I woke up about at about 11 o'clock and wanted something to eat. I didn't feel like cooking anything and the cupboards were looking pretty bare. I came across a box of raisins, which I've never been a fan of, but I figured what the hey. It is now 2 o'clock and I've spent the last half hour in the bathroom. Those things are dangerous.

When do you sleep?!

I eat my dinner at about ~12 AM, and sleep at 12:30 ~1:30 AM.

Yes, you're supposed to eat the raisins and throw away the box. Didn't you read the 5-step raisin eating instructions on the back of the b..., oh nevermind.
