Really reassuring to read these posts. As a night owl who wishes he could be a lark it's tough to 'allow' the owliness to continue. I've had many botched attempts to transition but with less than a year of PhD time to go (or at least, that's the plan), I think I need to embrace it.

For me, at this stage, it doesn't feel like the right time to add an extra layer of complexity to what will be a difficult year by trying to make too many changes. I do wonder how it will pan out if/when I have a new position that is less flexible, but for right now I'm sticking with what I know - which is that inner peace seems to descend upon me around 10pm and the fog lifts. Anyone else in the same boat atm? Camaraderie needed! :)

Hi all,

New member here and first post on the forum.

Have decided (again) to embrace my nocturnal nature and try to make it work for the final 8 months of PhD time. Anyone else in the same boat?

Do I get extra points for being here at 130am on a Sunday morning?
