I appreciate that a lot. I'm generally sleeping 4:30am-12:30pm. Recent travel puts me at 10:30pm-6:30am which I'm trying to artificially maintain for a month. I'm sorry that you felt you had to create a throwaway account to post what you did, it's telling about the prejudices that circadian-divergent people (my term, mostly called DSPS) face in society. (e.g. parallel response talking about being called lazy by family). I try hard to locate myself in places (time zones) where I can exploit 'circadian arbitrage'. Remote work is the big enabler, and I consciously work to help folks maintain & expand the remote work ecosystem's momentum.
the funny thing is that because of such sleep times i never had a problem with jetlag. if i am forced to get up early and work all day then i can also get to sleep earlier. the issue though is that since i have kids, i only get time for myself, eg to watch tv or a movie after the rest of the family is asleep, thus pushing my bedtime again back late into the night. i haven't found a way to solve that without completely giving up watching tv. (and i don't watch much to begin with. 1-2 hours per day)
