Why Am I an Night Owl

For years I thought I have been having imsonia. I thought I have problem sleeping at night. Well I thought of that.

But actually I just love night too much that I dont want to sleep. I know that sound a little bit weird for all of you early birds out there. Most of the time, I do my work after late night. I write something, do research, readings, and many other things that I would want to share with you.

Well for once I want to say why I love doing works at night more then during the day.

Why I do it at early morning

I am writing this at 4.05 am my time now. You see my so called “ilham” will only come after 12am, which I might know why.

Sure, it can be done at any time of day. For some people, noise is a welcome relief from the heavy silence. For others, the quiet of late night is preferred. I won’t argue with these people, as everyone has to find good time that works for them

But here’s why “early morning” works for me (and that doesn’t have to be 4:00 a.m. — it can be whenever you are awake):

1. It’s quiet. For me, that’s super important. There’s no better time than when the world is still asleep.
2. Work hasn’t gotten in the way. By mid-morning or afternoon, a ton of stuff has come up that must be done now … pushing back the focus of working. First thing in the morning, nothing has come up to push back my “todo” things.
3. Life hasn’t gotten in the way. Everyday stuff, like errands and paying bills and parties and family and kids. Everybody asleep. Get it?
