I always learn more when I’m asleep. Ask my teachers.

I found getting research done less distracting after dark fell.

While I had a job, mornings I was at my peak, daytime I was productive and when evening came, there was no time available for production after two martinis..........

Obviously the studious student neglected the fulltime employed, kid raising, bill paying, grass cutting members of society when he was doing his research...........

Me too.

All my life mornings make me nauseous.

Bump for the night owl Freepers!

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. If you want on/off this list, please freepmail me. The main Homeschool Ping List by DaveLoneRanger handles the homeschool-specific articles.

So we ‘nightowls’ have it over the ‘larks’? Lol

Guess it depends on just what we are doing with our brains at night!!

I’m afraid to comment further here

[potlatch]

I don’t blame you at all, better go look at PUNS thread instead, lol.

I am fulltime employed, single mom, homeschooler. I have primarily worked evenings and prefer night work because I am impressively more productive. Just recently I switched to a graveyard shift and am loving it.

That’s strange, my brain has never worked as well at night — especially after a few drinks.

Mine does work better at night, especially after a few drinks. At least for tasks such as programming. The relaxation seems to help I think.

LOL, I always said my best code was written after a few drinks at about midnight... If only I could figure out what it does the next day... ;)

Seriously, though, I have written some pretty elegant stuff later in the evening, both programmatically and story-wise.

I think it's the quiet time, lack of ringing phones and so on that seems to do the trick. Even the cats settle in and don't need attention after a certain time of night!
