I do my best work around the witching hour.
I just implemented error recovery in a LALR(1) parser without The Dragon Book as a guide.
Now on to shaping the parse trees. woot!
How about you?
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I am also a night coder, even if I tend to lose concentration and attention after 2AM. Best working hours have always been 20pm-1am to me.

I think it's a thing among coders. I've worked with a lot of them that also prefer to work at night.
i love the night in general. it's quiet and i have my space and also the moon. =)

You are missing the main part : NO FREAKING INTERRUPTION !!

fair, even though i'd think generally quiet would cover that. =)
my cats interrupt me regardless. One likes to play fetch with me at night.

Are we talking about a huge cat, or are you mouse sized?
Our cat beats up my ankles, but he couldn't drag me anywhere ...

lol, he has a toy mouse we use.
he also attacks my ankles. He does try to pull my socks off. Maybe he's actually trying to drag me.

Ours will play fetch with a toy. Once.
I throw, he chases, he brings back.
I throw, he looks at me as if to say "I just brought you that. If you wanted it so much, why did you throw it?" and wanders off to kill something.

Hell yeah!
Mornings are for sleeping and, if I'm awake, like now, procrastination.
Afternoons are... Alright.
But the main work gets done after dinner, if I can get myself to sit back behind my desk that is 
If it were up to me I'd sleep until 11 or 12 and wouldn't go to bed until at least 3 
Unfortunately, our society is based around morning people, and it's expected of you to be at the office at 9 and go out at 5 and sit in traffic with the rest of the world who're all forced to that same schedule.
Sleeping until late is, without any context, considered lazy and immature.
It pisses me off sometimes, but I can get little sympathy.
"Just set your alarm and get out at 7, like the rest of us."
"Why don't you just go to bed at 3 and we'll talk.", but that's just stupid 
People suck, generally speaking.

Quote: Now we the American working population
Hate the fact that eight hours a day
Is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us
And we may not hate our jobs
But we hate jobs in general
That don't have to do with fighting our own causes
We the American working population
Hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out
When we'd rather be supporting ourselves
By being paid to perfect the pastimes
That we have harbored based solely on the fact
That it makes us smile if it sounds dope

A couple of friend were in a punk band back in their teens.
Their "hit" song was "9 tot 5" and the refrain was like (translated) "9 to 5, 9 to 5, go to your boring sh*t company!" (five and company rhyme in Dutch, "vijf" and "bedrijf").
The original was "9 tot 5, 9 tot 5, naar je saaie kutbedrijf!"
Pretty hilarious for a couple of teens that never before worked in their life (they all have 9 to 5 jobs now)

I am usually up by 5am and in the office before 7am, so that's a no from me.
By the time some of my colleague get in(11am) I am half way through my workday.

Definitely a morning person. Up every work day at 6am and in the office by 8am. My evenings are for relaxing (watching TV / Youtube, listening to music, reading books etc).

In my youth, yes. High school and college. Then I grew the frick up!
As another respondent stated, I now get up and into the office early so I can get work done before the interruptions begin -- i.e. the boss arrives.

I had a period like that but then as i got older i slept less and less in general. Now I sleep about 4 hours a night, which means I'm up til the wee hours. I went to bed at 3am last night. it's 8 now here, but I was up by 6:30

Bill Watterson did the right thing. But I wish he could revisit every now and then.

Perhaps 'Shutdown' is the new form of government we have. Not any more effective than before, but cheaper and less new problems are created.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
