Here too. Mornings were always torture, even as a school child (and I'm not even much of a sleeper or fatigue sufferer, I just hate morning -- even the air makes me feel constricted and ill since dampness and I don't mix). In the summer, I would by default stay up all night unless I needed to be somewhere early in the day. I'm still like that. Sure, I can make myself do stuff before noon, but it's like how other people are if they try to pull a graveyard shift -- it's unnatural.
I don't call it insomnia, because it's not -- I sleep as much as my body needs and I suffer no ill effects. It's just how I am. In college, when I took anthro, they talked about the fact that some people, since the dawn of time, have been hard wired to be the "night watch." Maybe that's us? *shurg*
I'm the exact same way. I don't think I've ever achieved anything useful in the morning in my life. Even when I was on a normal schedule for school as a kid or in college, I always had foggy-brain for most of the day. I just can't function in the morning. (And by morning I mean the part of the day that goes until 4:30 pm.) |

"Tenthly, one should pour tea into the cup first. This is one of the most controversial points of all; indeed in every family in Britain there are probably two schools of thought on the subject. The milk-first school can bring forward some fairly strong arguments, but I maintain that my own argument is unanswerable. This is that, by putting the tea in first and stirring as one pours, one can exactly regulate the amount of milk, whereas one is liable to put in too much milk if one does it the other way round."

4am-ish here.
Chilling for a bit before returning to packing -- moving in about two weeks.

I packed the day before I moved (for some reason). It is good to plan ahead I suppose, but then you can't find all your stuff while you wait. |

I'm up as well. I've always been a very "nocturnal" person. For some reason, I find myself more motivated for creative or intellectual exercises as night than I do during the day. It's been like that every since I was a very young. ... No idea why.  Same here. Here too. Mornings were always torture, even as a school child (and I'm not even much of a sleeper or fatigue sufferer, I just hate morning -- even the air makes me feel constricted and ill since dampness and I don't mix). In the summer, I would by default stay up all night unless I needed to be somewhere early in the day. I'm still like that.

And this. And this. I hate mornings with a livid passion. I love being up at night and always am way more productive at night. |

I ground my faith upon Jesus Christ, and by Him I steadfastly believe to be saved, as is taught in the Catholic Church through all Christendom, and promised to remain with Her unto the world's end, and hell gates shall not prevail against it: and by God's assistance I mean to live and die in the same faith; for if an angel come from heaven, and preach any other doctrine than we have received, the Apostle biddeth us not to believe him. Therefore, if I should follow your doctrine, I should disobey the Apostle's commandment.

Ah ya, it's 4am! And I have to wake up in 2 hours for work. Why do I get Rockstar cravings at midnight? That's the absolute worst time to be slammin' back energy drinks.  |

It's a little after 4 pm here. Time for my second round of coffee. Or maybe some lunch. I did try to do a bunch of useful things already like paying rent and buying groceries but my day has been plagued with forgetfulness and a cranky, confused attitude. Things should look up from here on out, though. The worst is over.
