i’m a nightowl and i stumbled across this article today about “10 Benefits of Rising Early, and How to Do It“. getting up early is a huge pain for me and i simply cannot imagine myself getting up at 4:30am (!!). i sometimes have to get up at 6am and that is still a big deal, im usually grumpy the entire day and since i abstain from caffeine my productivity suffers as well. i think some people are not meant to be morning persons. i like the quiet wee hours past midnight and watching the moonshine is as much inspiring to me than the sunrise.
maybe it is really just a habit and you can turn every nightowl into a morning person but i doubt it would suit me. nighttime is the most productive time of the entire day for me. i get more done between 8pm and 1am than during daytime.
I love the peace and isolation of the early hours just after midnight, I too get most of my work done during these hours but it’s hard to adjust back to normality and it’s starting to take it’s toll as I get older.
I stumbled across your site a few minutes ago while searching for ‘time to wake up, Warcraft’ as I find myself in a very similar situation to your post ‘wake up and thaw out’
It helped reading and knowing someone else had gone through the same thing, so thanks.
