During times in my life where I've been working all night shifts at the mental health facility or going out all night I never really felt very keen and able to be at my peak anytime after 11pm or midnight. I can't, after having just been awake for 12 hours suddenly discard all the junk that went on and kick into high gear productivity. It just doesn't work for me. I'm not creative at the end of the day, I'm creative at the beginning. I'm not relaxed and able to concentrate on only one thing - or remain focused at the end of the day - it's impossible for me. Might have something to do with ADHD. I want to run at the end of the day when I'm almost wiped out mentally and physically and go to sleep. I'm amazed by people that are on opposite sides of the spectrum... could never be one of you though! Great post, I saw a comment of yours at Lawrence's blog. Best of life!

I love this article and can relate completely. For the past several months, my sleeping has been 2-4am to 9-11am. Sometimes, I get into such state of flow with what I'm working on that I'd be up until 6am. I don't feel tired and I do not drink coffee. I'm a highly productive person and have felt that I work more efficiently and effectively on this schedule. Great post! Tina <a href="http://thinksimplenow.com" rel="nofollow">Think Simple.

When our children started back at school I went from a leisurely wake-up to a MUCH earlier morning (and corresponding early night). I'm still getting used to it. I can't decide whether I still feel so tired because I'm not adjusted yet, or I just need a new mattress. The good news is that I get to spend the commute in the AM with my children in the car. Good time to share with them or just sing along to SpongeBob SquarePants "Best Day Ever"! Unfortunately some of us don’t have these choices.

People should worry less about fitting into someone else's pre-designed notion of when "appropriate" work times are, and instead find their own rhythm. I guarantee you, everyone's is different, but we're never encouraged to find them because the banks and post office are only open from 9-5. As a fellow night owl, I completely agree.
