"In the morning, there is a peak of productivity around 10AM, then it decreases until lunch time. After lunch, it starts to increase with a peak around 4PM, then it starts to decrease from 4PM until 7PM. Then, again, starting from 8PM, I restart working and there is a gradual increase with a peak at 11PM."

I wondered too - but the only other post on that blog tells us he's a phd student, so it's a little less surprising - at least to me...

Yeah, and here's a link to their Google Scholar page [1]. It's not surprising at all for a PhD student (especially a full-time one) to be working those hours.

It's also not uncommon (about a third I believe) for PhD students to suffer from depressions and what not.
