Re:Ask HN: What's your working day like?

Really interesting. I find I'm most productive in the evenings. Do you happen to agree with the research suggesting people have natural inclinations towards more/less sleep and different productivity rhythms during the day? It seems like reading between the lines you've augmented your sleep patterns from what they normally are.

I think the sleep and productivity times vary with age, food, and stress levels. I used to be a late nighter almost all of my teen life into the early 20s. But have now become early(rather super early) riser.
As expected light plays a huge role in altering sleep cycles. All my devices go into blue light mode around 5:30 pm, and same with Hue lights at home. And the lights turn on to 6500K ~30 mins before my alarm goes off. If for some reason my lights do no turn on I still find in hard to wake-up at 2 just with an alarm.
As for food, I've noticed on days my diet is heavy in red meat, and fats I tend to sleep longer.
