Even more suspicious or chore-seeming to those that are more productive during the evening, which studies recently suggest this could be how some of us are wired. There's this, I think Anglo-Saxon fixation on early mornings being where productive and good people do things.

Maybe a cultural byproduct of regions of the world with short, dark winter days?

That's me. I'm brain-dead in the mornings no matter how much sleep I have gotten. I'm extremely alert in the evenings. The evenings are definitely when I do my best thinking and best work.

If everyone demands that you start work at 8:00 sharp, those who are at their best at 5:00pm will actually be worse at everything, all else equal, than those who are at their best at 8:00.

One of the benefits I find with coming back from trips to Europe returning to the US East Coast is there's about a week where I'm tending to get up by 5AM or so. I slip back to a normal schedule but I really feel good getting a bunch of work done by 9AM or so. Can't really keep it up sans jetlag though.

It’s a really great feeling. I went for a while getting up at 5:00am, going to the gym, then straight to work by 7 or so. I’d often get the most important work of the day done by 10 and I felt pretty amazing. But having to go to sleep by 10 (which means in bed by 9:30) was too hard to adhere to.
