Absolutely. I started waking up at 6 am and working until 8:30 a month ago, and it's been a great boost in my productivity.

Cool. I've been having good luck with on and off. The hard part is getting back into an early sleep routine when I have the odd late night. Anything you do to help reset the routine?

I just try not to have odd nights... so far, the worst I did was going to bed at 0:30 - at that time after working 15 hours I was so tired, that I wasn't productive at all anyway, so I decided to call it a day

I find I often have a late(r) Friday due to some volunteering.

Nice to see I'm not the only one enjoying the mornings, even though I've historically been a night owl.

Funny thing is, I'm a night owl myself. But I was tired of using all my more productive time for my employer, and all my tired nights for myself ;)

Thats exactly what I found too, total night owl too.

The people I work for don't always want/need my highest creativity, but my reliable attention to detail and high quality work. It's nice to innovate in the mornings for my own stuff.
