Actually, at least in my testing, that was a huge part of it – what time you feel “tired” versus what time you feel “sleepy,” and what time you wake up vs. what time you feel conscious.

All I can say is that for me, I started resembling edward norton at the beginning of fight club ENTIRELY too much.

Ryan, if I used metaphor incorrectly, the I should probably not have the job I have.

How long does it take you to properly “wake up?” Because I usually don’t feel awake until at least 9 p.m.

The fact that I’m reading this at 5:20am should provide some encouragement… I used to use 11pm-3am as my most productive/creative hours; now, I punch out by 11pm (at the latest). When you do get your schedule flipped, you’ll find that waking up early is also a great way to capture those extra, uninterrupted hours of the day.

Oh, and I applaud you on your proper use of metaphor. Nice work!

But it might be worth discussing with a doctor for yourself. (This same study gave me severe sleep apnea and my, hasn’t that been enjoyable)
