For a long time, I used to have a "night owl" schedule and I thought I was very productive until I switched to 12am-5:30am sleep schedule. I sleep at most 1-1:30am, but if I ever stay awake past 2:30am, I don't go to sleep anynmore. I also take a 15 minute nap during the day at about 3pm, after which if I would be very refreshed for the rest of the day.

I think the early-to-rise sleep pattern is very productive and best even for some people that consider themselves night owls now. Most times, a lot of people think they are night owls from their late night sleep schedule from their teenage years. There are some exceptions, however.
