Even going back to school days I would be up late and hate getting out of bed early in the mornings. It got nothing but worse once I got into the restaurant and bar industry. I eventually became a bartender and would work nothing but nights. I got use to the "you sleep to late" mentality. It wasn't until I pointed out the fact that I in fact only sleep between 6-8hrs a night, just a different set of hrs, that people would back off. I’ve been a night person most all of my life.

Too much distraction during the day to really get anything done that requires focus. I agree – I work best late at night as well.

I love staying up late working on blogging or other things. I am so wired sometimes. But that hinges on whether I got up real early that morning. If I did (since I have a baby), then the nighttime thing might not be good. In that case, going to sleep early, and getting up early works better. I agree.

I stay awake every single night, seven days a week, until 2-5 am. I do almost all the writing at nights. My challenge is that I need to wake up 7 am to go to my day job. I run pretty challenging software engineering projects in a medium sized company and I need focus into it on daytime. I sleep 3-6 hours a night. Sometimes I feel like I am a living dead but my passion to entrepreneurship is too strong to forget online business. Sounds familiar. I stay awake every single night, seven days a week, until 2-5 am.

I am up at 4:30 AM and start working about 5:30 AM. My first hour awake is spent making coffee, eating breakfast and checking news and espn. I love the quiet of the early morning more than I love the quiet of the night. I like getting all my work done and still be able to relax and watch primetime tv before bed. I am the same way.

I tried doing something during the day but it doesn't really work. It's like too much noise around me (just in my mind because the house it's quiet) and can't concentrate.

I get all the benefits of the early morning hours being quiet, plus any communication I need to do with others can be done. As an extra side benefit, no one gets the idea that I'm lazy. Instead, I've got a Protestant work ethic. =) I used to work late as you mention, but I started watching too much of the X-Files instead of working. At 5 in the morning, there's really not much to distract you, and your mind is refreshed. Good points though about working in general.
