I really wish I didn't have to sleep. That would be ideal.

I tend to do my best mixing at 3am.

Unfortunatley, my girlfriend won't tolerate band shaking the house at 4am.

I have no choice... I work 9-5 (pretty much). However, as a writer, I've done my best stuff late evening - 11pm-3am-ish...

I write at night before I go to bed. That way, I get whatever I've been thinking about all day on paper before I lose it.

I am definitely a "night writer"(pardon the david hasselhoff related pun). I work during the day and play at night, although with a roomate, I can do my recording instrumentally at night, but have to record vocals during the day.

The night time is good for me to brainstorm and come up with ideas. But I get more finished during the day.

Most things get done in the 24hours before the deadline...........
I find the period from 10pm - 2am is very productive..

4am - 9am = mistakes

My brain shuts down between 4:30 and 5:30 AM. Other than that, it's really more about state of mind than time of day.
