A little of both.I don't know if it's late, or if it's early...
I have always been a night owl. My wife is in bed by 9:30-10:00, but I'm almost always up until 2-3 A.M. Tonight I'm up a little later than normal though. I've been playing some chess and lost a couple of games I shouldn't have so I stayed up for revenge.
I typically do my best work between 10-2 at night. I spend most of my days on the phone, in meetings or driving. I do all my computer work and reviewing employees at night.

Worked for AT&T for 21 years. 14 years of that was on the 10p-6a shift. Absolutely loved it. Many times I would go whole weeks without having to talk to another person all night.
Yup. I enjoy the silence and serenity that night shift provides. I've gotten so I despise traffic. I mean absolutely loathe it. I might see 2 or 3 cars when I head in to work at 11pm. But when I get off at 7am...holy sheet!
My road rage flares up and God forbid if I get stuck behind a FU
ING school bus! 
After working shift work for 40 years, being able to go to bed every night is a BIG DEAL!! I've been retired 20 years, and it's still a big deal!!

All my life (age 7 is about as far back as I remember) I've done my best work from 10pm to 3am. Luckily, being self-employed for 38 years of my 44-year career helped a bunch.
My sleep schedule (4.5 to 5 hours per night) used to drive my wife crazy, but over time she got used to it. Never bothered any of my Basset Hounds, though!

As crazy as this may sound, this is the only thing that I miss about a so called "normal" life. I do not want to work with people. I do not want to face morning traffic. I absolutely do not want to work along side the boss or other employees. No sir, no way.
But I absolutely would love to take a nice hot shower and go to bed every night around 10pm or so. I do miss that.
Then don't EVER go to Rhode Island if you will be driving. I can't even remember all the states that I have driven in, but I can say that the drivers up here are outright crazy stupid.
I'll be so glad when we get this state done with our Summer work.
