Sometimes you just can't sleep. And I don't know about you guys, but I hate the thought of me being wide awake while everyone else is sleeping soundly and dreaming of unicorns and rainbows. But rest assured, you are not the only one who's awake, in fact, there's plenty of people out doing stuff in the wee small hours of the morning. So go on out and find your fellow insomniacs!
Eat!
There are tons of place to eat around the clock in Los Angeles. There are so many in fact, I wrote a whole guide dedicated to ‘em! So you’ve been resigning yourself to eating at iHOP or Denny’s at 2am, rest assured, you no longer have to.
It's 3am and I'm Hungry: 24-Hour Eateries In Los Angeles
Where to go when hunger strikes in the wee hours of the morning.
Tommy's Original World Famous Hamburgers
To think, you too could be eating this delicious chili burger at some ungodly hour.

Los Angeles: Open 24 Hours
Why go to a late-night strip joint when you can buy some patio furniture?
Do Your Laundry!
Don’t you hate when you have to wait to use a washing machine? Or worse, when someone takes your clothes out of the dryer because they want to use it? Is propriety dead?! Or does your landlord put the kibosh on using your apartment laundry machines after 9? Killjoy. Then get yourself to your friendly neighborhood 24-hour laundromat. Chances are you’ll have the machines to yourself, and when it comes down to it, don’t we all fantasize about meeting some hottie in laundromat?
Lucy's Laundry Mart
5609 W Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles , CA 90028
Since this laundromat is in the Echo Park area, you might want to bring a copy of Gravity’s Rainbow or Infinite Jest to peruse while you’re waiting for your rinse cycle to finish. That way you can lure a cute, unsuspecting hipster into your (lint) trap.
Get Some Groceries!
Do long lines at the super market make you want to scream sometimes? What better way to avoid the crowds then to do your grocery shopping while everyone else is sleeping! Not only will you have the whole store to yourself, but you won’t have to endure standing behind the one person left in the world who STILL cuts coupons.
Ralphs Grocery Company
9040 Beverly Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90048
I used to shop here, and since it’s right next to Beverly Hills, the probability of you meeting a lonely millionaire in the milk aisle who’s just DYING to share their fortune with someone, is a tad higher than it would be elsewhere.

Insomnia by Stephen King
Suitable reading material for the sleep challenged among us.
Insomniac With Dave Attell
Only Dave Attell could make sleeplessness funny.
Shop For Random Stuff!
Ok, So Walgreen’s and Wal-Mart isn’t exactly the pinnacle of shopping, but everyone needs their basic essentials, and they’re not-so-essential essentials, Like the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer! Which can be yours for the bargain price of $99.99. And if that wasn’t enough, you can also throw in a cat bed, binoculars, scrapbooking supplies, and an electric scooter. America is the best.
Walgreen Drug Stores
1932 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90403
Not all Walgreen’s are open 24 hours, like this one is. So if you feel like purchasing a blender at 3am, you should probably check the store hours before making a dash to your local Walgreen’s. Nothing says disappoint like a failed smoothie plan.

Wal-Mart
3250 Big Dalton Ave, Baldwin Park, CA 91706
This is Walmart is open 24 hours! I’m not sure if that’s just savvy business or part of Wal-Mart’s evil scheme to take over the world. But if you’re looking for cheap-ass laundry detergent at 2am and could give a hoot about ethical business practices, then more power to you.

Doesn’t Wal-Mart look pretty basking in the moonlight? I mean, the parking lot light?

Get Buff!
Since most of the food available in the dead of night is of the greasy, fatty variety, it TOTALLY makes sense to work out in the dead of night as well! 24 Hour Fitness (the whole selling point being that they’re open 24/7) is probably your best option if you feel like pumping iron at 4am.

i do this all the time.
24 Hour Fitness
15301 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403
So I have to say that I am NOT a fan of 24 Hour Fitness (it’s a long story involving me wanting to quit, and them not wanting to quit. and me then putting a hold on my credit card so they couldn’t charge me anymore— sneaky, right?). But this particular one, however, which happens to be one of their Magic Johnson gyms, is pretty nice. And why toss and turn in bed when you can be turning that flab into fab? I seriously doubt if they enforce the 30 minute treadmill time limit at 3am.

Looks like the rich, HOT and famous also enjoy low monthly rates and accessibility.

I think I need to join that 24 Hour Fitness!

Haha. I think I need to also!

Haha. Do it!!!
Work It!
Need to bind your screenplay so you can shop it to the studios? Need to fax business prospectuses to potential investors in Japan? Hoof it to the copy place formerly known as Kinkos (which I think is now FedEx Office), and you can set up an ad hoc office, because odds are that graveyard shift cashier is pretty lonely and would probably appreciate the company.
Fedex Kinko's
1520 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
I came here once to use a fax machine, because who REALLY owns a fax machine in this day and age? That’s why they (and by “they” I mean Al Gore), invented the internet, people!

Meet your new best friend and late-night confidante.
Gamble!
Vegas LA isn’t, but that doesn’t mean you have to cross the Nevada border to gamble away your paycheck. LA’s got its share of casinos, and while some of ‘em might be a little on the sketchy side, you’ll save yourself a pretty penny by forgoing that Vegas trip. And you know what that means, more money to lose at the craps table.
Bicycle Club Casino
7301 Eastern Avenue, Bell Gardens, CA 90201
Fondly known as “The Bike” this place has the second-largest poker room in the world. Hollah.

Hollywood Park Casino
3883 W. Century Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90303
I just found out this place has its own on-site Cheescake Factory. And who said the ’Wood was ghetto?

Hustler Casino
1000 West Redondo Beach Blvd., Gardena, CA 90247
Larry Flynt’s casino— it sort of makes you wonder why there isn’t a Playboy Casino also. Hef’s would be way classier— sorry, Larry.

Is it me or does this kind of look like a converted gas station?
Commerce Casino
6131 East Telegraph Rd., Los Angeles, CA 90040
With its faux historic architecture, Commerce is the closest you’ll get to Vegas without actually going to Vegas.
