Is it just me, or is everyone else much more productive overnight?

    It's 4:16 am right now (here, at least), and I haven't slept. Nor I intend to.

    The reason is, and I noticed this a long time ago, that I am much more productive when working so late (or early, since it's already morning). I don't know, but when there's daylight, it takes me much more time to build a website, but when it's 12pm, 1am, 2am, 3am, ... I can develop 1 or 2 full websites overnight!:eek:

    I don't drink coffee or anything...

    And the next mornings (I have been like this for at least a week), I don't feel tired at all :confused:.

    Well, as soon as I lay my head on a mattress I fall asleep and no one can awake me, but hey - it makes me more than twice as productive:rolleyes:

    So, is it just me, or not?

    I do work better late night aswell, there are less distractions / problems.

    Problems that you do come accross you stive harder to resolve rather than leave them till tomorrow.

    However it will catch up on you! Ha!

    lol, yeah.

    I know it will catch up. It has already happened to me.


    I was foolish enough to try get as close as possible to the world record of spending 11 days without sleeping.

    I had a friend calling me every hour making sure I wasn't asleep. I had to pick up within 2 rings. I spent a total of 5 days and 4 nights without sleeping. Mostly working (ironically, one of my most successful sites came out of that venture). by the third day, I could barely write well, so I couldn't work as effectively. I couln't even talk properly on the phone. I was so sleepy, that one time my friend called me like he was supposed to. I smashed my cellphone :) (I had to replace it anyways :p). I remember going to the bathroom to "clean up" a little, and I don't know how I ended up with Listerine on my eye. It hurt, it really, really hurt.

    But, I managed to stay up one more night due to a wonderful discovery: Starbuck's Frapuccino. Delicious! I was about to last one more day, but the 5th day, it was 7am, and I thought "I'll just get a couple of minutes of sleep". I put on my alarm right next to my ear to go off 30 minutes later... I woke up at around 8am... of the next day :p

    I am the exact opposite - I am most productive in the early morning (7-10am), and then I slowly lose steam as the day goes on. I rarely work past 6pm - I'm spent by then!
