One advantage of staying up late over getting up early, as a way to get blocks of time to work, is that you can control when you stop working: you stop when you feel too tired, rather than when the rest of the world wakes up and starts interrupting you.
Since, as I've written before (http://paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html …) the mere possibility of being interrupted makes one less productive, an hour at night feels more valuable to me than one in the morning.
If you're on a roll late at night, you can keep working. The price will be that you feel tired the next day, but you can choose to pay it. But if you're on a roll in the morning and your kids wake up, or people start to call you, you're stopping whether you want to or not.
Agreed. Working with zero disturbance should be made available to everybody, even in the day. Transparent bubbles or noise reducers in our ears or something. That'd be cool.
And then when you had kids... Did your work life and having blocks of uninterrupted time take the hit? Or have you figured something else out. If so I'm all ears.
Unless your household is populated by night owls :)
I’m more of a morning guy, but to get blocks of time I need to wake up very early. If I had a bad night, the whole day sucks. My wife does the opposite , night owl, and the biggest advantage is that she can go as long as she wants. Maybe same problem with different perspective
The world recognise night owls as hard working.
Also, the least worthwhile projects are weeded out as it's a trade off between energy for the work and sleepyness. A bar is set, and the best projects survive.
Don’t you think time runs at 2x speed in the night and becomes very slow during the day?
Assuming the things you do while uninterrupted are actually more valuable... also productivity may be measured differently depending on the type of work, so not exactly a good yard stick when comparing focused work and interrupt-driven work.
Or wake up so early (like 4:30 am) that no one interrupts You. I think the productivity depends on You - if You stay up late, and will be tired the next day - it will be contr-productive.
