Ah, so my late night cramming was actually good for me? I feel vindicated.

Not exactly a reason to homeschool, but still informative to those interested in educational issues.

I did all my best writing at night. For some reason, I found getting research done less distracting after dark fell.

Oooh...

Micky Mouse ears on a chick with her hair tied back?

And thick glasses too.

Man, you know what I like!.

Which brain?

Mr Sale, from the School of Molecular and Biomedical Science at the University of Adelaide, discovered that the brain’s capacity to control hand movements is influenced by the time of day.

There's a joke in here somewhere.

when i started working during the day i had to take my college courses at night... and i have to say, i did exponentially better in those evening courses... i am a night owl, however... after i finished school, i began working later during the day... 10:00 am-7:00 pm... and then i would do more work at home... i did all my writing in the evening... i’m a homeschool mom now... i still do most of my prep at night when everyone else is asleep...

hahahahaha!

[GOP Poet]

Exactly! Me too. I have always been a night time reader and maybe this is why. During the day my body wants to be very active. Nighttime is the time for sitting and reading for me.

My study time is much better morning and afternoon,evening is family time.

Creative writing seems to flow most freely at night, late at a night ... with a glass of Ruby Port and cranrasberry juice, and ... Oh! Yeah, things work better at night. Don’t daydream as much, eh?

[vetsvette]

That’s strange, my brain has never worked as well at night — especially after a few drinks. In fact, when I think about it, my eyes and my taste in women always deteriorate after dark as well.

Oh well, maybe I should do all my homework late at night when I go off to college. I've always been much more of an evening person anyway, mornings just aren't for me.

[jwh_Denver]

I’ve always been an evening person. Mornings suck.

It’s quieter at night so work is much more productive, but interruptions, while less frequent, are much more serious. When the cops show up next door it is usually 3-4 AM.

Most vampires feel that way, you know.... *chuckle*

Heard a couple weeks ago that Kathleen Turner still has ‘it,’ and that is the best news of the week.

[MHGinTN]

Yeah, I miss those interludes. Some of my best stories have been generated by the criminal wave that used to be.
