Funny, for me it's at night, for the same reasons you say. I'm a night owl, and I peak between midnight and 2 am

It has became really troublesome when I started working. If I was awake after midnight it became really hard to fall asleep. And I feel bad that I can't be at my top at my job because of the time difference.

You sound like me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder

Mine is similar, although extreme. I go to sleep at 6am, when the sun starts to rise. It's quite relaxing. I won't keep that schedule once I'm done with college, though.

I'm the same. Midnight to 2am is peak creativity for me. I just don't feel bad about not being at my top at my job, and can never make it into the office before 9.

Same here. It's not just work either, I always find music the most enjoyable at 1am and will often put off sleep to finish an album. I never feel like that at any other time of the day.

I absolutely know what its like. Thankfully my job now starts at 9, so I get a little extra time for sleep in the morning and I can stay up later without big consequences.

For me, ideally I would work from home until lunch, and then come into the office for the remainder of the work day. Not having to get up and get ready in the morning would push my schedule even further towards my comfort zone. Plus, my compiles are quite long (FPGA work) and I can easily shower, get ready, or cook breakfast after kicking something off. Someday!
