I'm interested to find out if there is a commonality of our productive times of day.

I find my most productive time to be early in the morning or more accurately for a while after I get up. Later in the day or after I've been up a while I'm just too tired to do anything.

Lately I get up around 2 or 3 am and by 5 or 6 pm I'm exhausted and go to bed for the night.

Depends on what you mean by productive. Mostly I've been living pretty lazy with nothing to do, lately. Most work entails just applying for jobs and seeing what I can do to become a better artist or writer. Happens more nso at night, I guess.

this differs greatly trough the day; i'm usually the most productive somewhere halfway my natural awakeness time, but since i'm on a sleep cycle of 28 hours, that moment rotates constantly, and often isn't even available since i'm supposed to sleep during that time, socially...

Early morning because I'm not overloaded yet. 3PM feels like 3AM to me.

It's the late morning for me (which is actually the afternoon or evening a lot of the time. I keep a weird schedule, and many of my days have more than 24 hours).

When I wake up, my head is immediately racing with thoughts and memories, and I start feeling depressed. My cats often take the edge off of my morning depression, but my morning routine stresses me out and the corticosteroids that I take for my Crohn's make me edgy and nervous. After I had breakfast, things slowly start to improve. My antidepressant kicks in, and I can relax at my PC with my well-fed and content cats. After browsing the forum/s for a while, I feel great and focused and highly productive for about 3-4 hours. Then things slowly go downhill again. During the second half of the day, I just feel lazy, exhausted and "meh".

I always get the most done from about 3 to 8 pm. I have decided this is when I need to get all of my homework done. I am barely functional in he morning and would rather relax at night. Most of my mornings and early afternoon is spent as school, which keeps me from getting anything else done then.

Late evening. I'm most productive and most creative then.

I'm naturally most productive between midnight and 6am. This used to mean I was the classic night owl, but with the 8-4 job I have now it means I go to bed early and get up around 4am.

I get things done mostly in the morning by the afternoon especially in the hot weather I get lethagic and don't do much I'm ready to go to bet by 10.00 at night after I've played a few games on my computer.

My most productive time of the day is between 3 and 11 in the morning. I collect drinking cans and bottles between 3 and 6 on the mornings on the mornings that I don't work or volunteer. I work between 6 and 8 on the mornings that I work at my job. I volunteer from 9 to 11 on Tuesdays. I get my chores or shopping done between 8 and 11.

7-9 am is my happiest time. Most people aren't awake, the sun just rose and is shining, and the day feels filled with possibilities and excitement. My least favorite time of day is 4-5 pm.

I can stay up all night painting rooms, fixing up the house and stuff. That is one reasy, I was labled manic depressive. I don't think I am bi-polar, just misunderstood.
