I used to stay up as long as I can. I appreciate darkness and quiet, and this was naturally when I could get that. Nowadays though I sleep at around 10am, and I wake up at 06am. It’s almost as quiet, and almost as dark and I get to read, and shower and maybe have breakfast before rest of the family is awake at around 07:30. This turned out to work better for me all things considered. I am also 42 now so this may be in part because I am not that young anymore and the shifted priorities, habits, and needs are better served by this new schedule. ( I never drink coffee )
