Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I found that my natural rhythm was sleep until 10AM, go to bed at 2AM.

Mine is sleep till 8AM, go to bed at 1AM. And if it were up to me, like if I ever really do become published well enough to quit my day job, I wouldn't do any work requiring concentration till after lunch. I focus best between 1PM and 8PM.

ETA all too often I go to bed at 1AM even now, when my alarm is set for 6:15.

Thrive to spite them

I've had another bad day with getting fussed out and treated not nicely about some things not including the whole issue of having questions and not sure who to talk to. My supervisor's position has been vacant for 5 months now and I have no idea what the status is on that, there are no meetings and very little feedback. I've slacked off terribly which is my fault but there's just no feedback or someone to talk to or go to with questions. (well there's the Big Boss but that way just leads to tears and feeling stupid for not being able to communicate well).

Plus my temp agency called about something else and asked when I was getting them my resume, I said Iwas having formatting isseusa nd they offered to look at it so I sent it and told them to look for a position.

Hope your temp agency is helpful, askye. It's been a while that this place has been dragging you down.

Go Daisy! Of course they'll like you, how could anyone not like you?

Given my druthers, I will apparently wake up at 7:30 am pretty consistently. I'm not sure if this is dependent on going to sleep at any time in particular, or if it's a result of aiming to wake up at 6:30 am.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

My natural rhythm, as i have deduced during unemployment, involves going to bed at midnight and waking at 11am. It is a wonderful, luxurious sensation to wake without an alarm. However, if i did not have cable (and thus, Jon Stewart) both times would prolly shift earlier.

I hate mornings. Which sucks, because i can be astonishingly productive before 10am...i just prefer to be asleep then.

Had to use the alarm to get up early for a Dr appt this morning and my cat almost hit the ceiling he was so freaked.

My body clock's natural state is something like go to bed at 3AM, wake up around 10:30-11AM. To say that I am not a morning person is a vast understatement.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I function best sleeping from 3 or 4 a.m. until noonish. I can be highly productive from 6 am - 9 am, if I'm up, but noon - 8 is my best time.

Punishingly Intricate

I like to get up early and then take a mid-morning nap and then stay up late. I'm both a morning AND a night person! But cranky any time o' day if I haven't gotten enough sleep or proper things to eat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

To say that I am not a morning person is a vast understatement.

It'd probably suck to be a goth who's not a night person....

This what I'd like to do, though I tend to want to nap in the afternoon. I'm not sure if it's an effective way for me to get through the day or not, as I will sometimes wake up from a nap completely unable to function.

I got into a great rhythm consulting. I'd get up at 10, check email, respond to anything urgent, plan my day, do some little stuff. At 12-12:30, I'd go to the gym. I'd get back an hour later, and shower and make lunch. I'd watch a half hour of britcoms and eat, then back to work. Take a break around 4, maybe run some errands. knock off around 7, make dinner, watch TV until 11 or so (11:30 if Undressed was on). I would then check email and work a little more. I would watch Gargoyles at 1:30Am, then go to bed. It was awesome.
