Kathy Bates is wakeup sex videovery tired, what don't you monsters understand about that?

The American Horror Story star and occasional tweeter had a spontaneous Q&A on Twitter last night. Apparently, it ate into her bed time in a big way.

At approximately 1:24 a.m. ET, Bates tweeted out a goodbye to fans who'd been communicating with her throughout the evening.

OK tweeters thanks for your kind company. TTL 🤗

This is Kathy visibly yawning and telling her house guests, "Boy, it's getting late!"

Fast forward to 3:30 a.m., and Kathy is still awake, saying g'night to Becca because Becca missed out on the Q&A. Fair.

G'night, Becca... https://t.co/N39Ji3NM23

Surely, Kathy can now rest soundly knowing she ended her day with a kind gesture.

Wrong.

At precisely 3:37 a.m., Bates finds an image of an old wombat online. She tweets about it.

SERIOUSLY?!!!!! Father of all Wombats!!!! He's not a real bat! He can't fly? What's a 'wom'? And why is it connected to 'bat'? 😱Google! https://t.co/ETgLQ28wpA

Oh, Kathy, what did you do? Seeing the wombat gives the weary Bates enough energy to check her mentions.

Oh how I wish I hadn't looked at Twitter. It's very late here and now I have to go to bed. I can't get Patrick out of my head! I'm freaking! https://t.co/ETgLQ28wpA

Kathy needsto sleep. But this damn old wombat is keeping her awake.

Twitter, having an endless supply of more cute animal pics, begins to flood Bates' mentions. Kathy, unable to look away but also desperately tired, responds to several more tweets.

OK now that's adorable. As long as he stays just like that. Love the little pink cheeks. I am going to bed! No more animal pictures!🙈 https://t.co/fWfOBFDUBZ

Note how each tweet ends with anguished declarations about sleeping.

Kathy is wearing pajamas, she is tucked into bed. Twitter is pounding on her door, screaming, "COME LOOK AT ANIMAL PICS."

Yes...I'm really trying...but every time I close my eyes I see Patrick...and then the naked WB with the really long claws. G'night Dion https://t.co/WiA5GxIeCr

It's now 4:00 a.m. ET and Kathy is desperate. The cute animals beckon her. Fans beg her for shout outs. She is simply too nice to ignore them. This is hell.

At 4:03, an exasperated Kathy finally sends her last tweet.
