On days I work, I might get 4-6 hours. I really need 7-9 hours to function properly. I stay up to late, then have to get up for work, because everyone loves to have their pointless meetings first thing in the morning.

I was always more of a night owl, but working the night shift for several years broke me. If I could, I'd never go to sleep... that still happens sometimes, where I stay up so late the sun comes up and I decide to try again tomorrow night.

I'd probably do ok working noon-ish to 8-ish. But mornings, even starting at a relatively late 9am, is a killer for me most days and really hurts my ability to get a full night of sleep.

I say it's my fault, because there is no reason I'm saying up this late, I just never decide to end the day and go to bed.
