Comment on The Freedom and Perils of Living Alone

"A music manager and record producer who works from his railroad apartment in Brooklyn, Mr. Sherwood, 40, said he’ll go to bed at 2 a.m. one night, and then retire later and later by increments, “until I go to bed when the sun comes up.” "

Glad it's not just me who does that :-D...

Been there too... I call it a 26/27 hour clock. On the day that would end with a sunrise, I'd take it off, but stay up, taking it easy (but tired) and push through until a "normal" bedtime, sleep like a baby and wake up the next day with a reset schedule.

I tried that - just end up sleeping more. Somehow, when I reach the point where I go to sleep at 12pm, it just resets :-).

By the way, this schedule only starts happening when I don't have anything to do during the day - if I have anything scheduled, I'd stay awake (although feel quite tired sometimes)...

I have had my most productive times when when i allow myself to do this. Would like to see an academic treatment of the subject.
