I definitely would need one.<BR/><BR/>You certainly hit on a key downside that I've been thinking of, though, which is switching <B>back</B> to a normal schedule for certain events, appointments, or whatever. And definitely if you have classes that are scheduled in your ideal time, forget it, it's over. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, it's good to hear of people preferring alternative schedules like this!Bdizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901107978275522299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598149216995933912.post-54712104167469918522008-08-05T04:55:00.000-07:002008-08-05T04:55:00.000-07:00I've been doing something similar for quite a whil...I've been doing something similar for quite a while now. I just have my most productive and creative time between 10pm and 4am, and then again between 7am to 11am. I tried so many times to work against it, but it just turned me into a grumpy zombie.<BR/><BR/>And I also realised how much more I get done if I work night shifts just because of lack of distraction (although, reading US blogs is a little bumper, the time difference means you people are blogging while I'm supposed to work ;) ).<BR/>If I could design my perfect sleep schedule, it would be from 4 am to 7 am, and then the big chunk from 11am to 5pm.<BR/>But you are right, it cuts down on my social life a bit, especially on spontaneous nights out during the week.<BR/><BR/>And it also does interfere with my lecture schedule and my working times (I have a part time job to make a living), which basically sucks. Usually I do "my times" about three or four days a week, and have to live on a normal schedule the rest of the week (which, again, turns me into a zombie).<BR/>Another downside: During the times that I also want to do stuff like going for a run or a swim or for groceries, it's just noch possible, because nothing's open. I guess, in a country like the US, where you also have 24/7 shops, it should be easier.<BR/><BR/>I hope, I answered some of your questions... feel free to ask, if you have any questions :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
