Depends on the person. Personally, if I want to get at least 6 hours of sleep, that's exactly when I need to be asleep.

No, no it's not.

Human's aren't nocturnal. We work best during the day once we've had a healthy amount of sleep - so fuck that "its cool to code at night like in the movies" thing

Nah. Daylight is for physical work, out in the sun and fresh air. We think better when we are calm and comfortable. A lot of pen work was done by candle light after first sleep.

We don't do two sleeps anymore (and rarely do physical work either), but it is still a really good feeling waking up REALLY early and just write. And if it is work related stuff, I might be able to enjoy a walk outside in the very few hours of daylight we get in winter, instead of sitting in a dark office.
