Night Owl
My brain seems to fall asleep around 10am after a few brief hours of productivity. It awakens again around lunchtime, ready to be fed, then falls asleep again for an afternoon siesta, only to be re-awoken in the evening. This last spell of activity, is completely pointless. Why oh why, does my brain wake up again at night? Sadly, I find that I can write my best pieces of work in the late evening. I now have evening lectures and often find myself typing out random pieces of work after lecture which end up being what I've struggled to write for the entirety of the previous day.
I have now succumbed to leaving a pen and paper next to my bed for these moments of nightly inspiration. I seem to have very vivid dreams currently, which form some interesting works of fiction which I am currently working on. These dreams are increasingly helpful and scrawled in questionable handwriting on the back of the stack of receipts next to my bed. Some of these scribbles are illegible, but most come to me just as I'm falling asleep and I scramble to write them down before I forget them. Because, I don't often retain these ideas throughout the night to remember them by the morning.
Anyway, it is late, and, as usual, this was my productive evening session of writing.
Soundtrack: Nirvana for some helpful 90's grunge working music!
