During my 20s and early 30s I used to sleep from 3 am to 11 am. In retrospect it's now clear I did it to get time to work without distractions. I couldn't afford to buy quiet, so I got it by sleeping different hours.

Biographies of famous people often mention how they worked at night and on weekends, as if this were painful for them. But if you like what you do, nights and weekends are the best time to work. That's when you get those wonderful big blocks of time without interruptions.

There is something so magical about a lab or office at night, when it's quiet and empty and dark outside. It seems like anything is possible.

Sometimes there are a few others around, and this can be even better, because they also tend to be people who love their work (and thus are good at it), and there is an implicit rule that you mustn't interrupt one another unless it's for something really interesting.

Do you think having a strict work routine is necessary Paul? Or you approach work in a more messy/mood kind of way?
-
It may vary from person to person. I have kids, so I perforce have a work routine dictated by their schedule.

Sunday is that day for me. It’s a day where I can spend hours reading a book, teaching myself specific skills or hack together projects that have been forming in my mind lately.

@level5leaders Jim Collins recommendation. If you are lying in bed 20 minutes or longer without being able to sleep, get up and get to work, doesnt matter what time it is. Compensate with naps during day as needed Check his podcast with@tferriss Night is most productive -
That is what I have been doing, but concern with the science of not sleeping for a period of time (like 8 hours), not being able to 'cure' our cells. So during the day, i tried to build up as much stress in my system and try not to rest -> at night have a long sleep.
