QotD: This is when I'm at my Best

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

By nature I prefer the night and, given the opportunity and the option, I'd certainly prefer to sleep by day and wake by night. These days, however, I tend to be awake most of both. Ordinarily I do my best work by night (it's why my music appears under the name of "Agrypnia"), but present obligations require a great deal of work by day.
