I think it was around 2006 when all the mail programs started allowing "send later" scheduling functionality - Thunderbird was the first IIRC. I, like you, would rather not send emails late at night but I often think best at that time.
Not a morning person either but there is a quietness/stillness at sunrise that leapfrogs you into your day... still a work in progress, especially gym sessions - I'd rather work out at night.

Ditto. It�s become something of a ritual to plot tomorrow�s chaos late into the night. I carefully schedule the floodgates of work correspondences to burst open at precisely 8 a.m. I imagine those emails spilling into inboxes, either gently nudging unsuspecting souls awake (or not-so-gently, depending on their notification settings) or greeting them alongside their first mug of coffee at the office (8 to 6 are the default office hours here). By the time I�m stumbling out of bed�an unapologetic late riser�replies are already waiting, hoping to find me well. Full disclosure: they rarely do

Def. Depends on how I feel on the morning of and what I did the night before, but I relish waking up as early as 4 sometimes to have that extra time to myself, whether I'm getting work done or sipping my tea in blissful silence while staring at the wall. Starting hikes in the mountains at that time is the best, too, watching the night turn to day as the sun rises. So serene, and no drugs!

I have an oddly stable circadian rhythm, despite shift work, but it's probably because I've prioritized sleep hygiene for years and don't sleep ALL day when I'm on my nights rotation. I do as much to preserve my regular exposure to light as possible.
My preference and enjoyment of the morning has got little to nothing to do with productivity. It's just a whole different world. Peaceful, serene. People are noticeably a different breed around here too. Significantly less fucktards out and about. Especially early-midweek.
I'm not a "busy" person. Free time is most precious to me. I enjoy getting my regular things out of the way early to do whatever I see fit for the rest of the day. I'm very happy to not be bogged down by having to be "productive," but I realize my career allows for that. I don't take it for granted, that's for sure!
