>Sorry, but you'll never convince me you get "sharper" at the end of the day than at the beginning.

I'm "sharper" at night because that is the only time I can expect to have no distractions. That means other people not being around; typically because they're sleeping. A [ job ] without distraction will always be more productive than [ job ] with constant distractions.

Not to mention I have a 'waking period' of about 4 hours. I'm not mentally checked in until several hours after I wake up. Caffeine helps with this but unlike a large portion of society, I don't rely on caffeine to wake me up in the mornings.

What I find extremely bizarre is that many of these so-called "morning people" need a cup of coffee each morning or they're as braindead as I am. It's almost like they aren't morning people at all and are relying on a stimulant to make them more alert and "mentally checked in".
