This is exactly what I do. I used to try to do it all at night, but with a wife and 2 kids you are just too drained to think and you end up making really bad decisions. I also tend to be able to plan when I am tired so I think about what I am going to do in the morning before I go to bed so that the second I wake up I am up and running and chomping at the bit to get at it. I also find that this carries over to the weekend too in that I can get in a couple hours before the kids are awake and then still have the rest of the day to play with them.

Both myself and my other technical partner switched to mornings and would never go back, this after having been a night person for 15 years.

Not quite to the MVP phase yet though unfortunately...but getting there!

Another huge benefit that the morning has over working in the evening is that you can drink coffee to get you going...if you're into that sort of thing.

I hear that.

I used to be a night person too, beavering away until the wee hours. Then I'd sleep until noon and feel awful the whole day. Never going back to that. I realised that the only reason I worked for such long hours is because I had no structure to my work.

Now, I get up early, get stuff done that I planned the night before, and by the time I've finished, most "normal" people are starting their day and I feel super awake. It's a great way to be.

The downside is that I can never stay up past midnight. I just zonk right out. Sucks if you're the type who likes to go partying, but thankfully that's not me :)
