I have a programmable coffee maker that is set to make coffee at 5:00AM. At 5:00AM, the world is pretty much shut off. There's not a lot going on on Facebook, Reddit, TIGSource, HN or anywhere else. I can't watch a movie or play a game either, it might wake my wife and daughter. I get way more done from 5 to 7:30 than I do from 8 to noon. This month, I made my first computer game, which is about to be released on Friday. I have another one in the works that I fully expect to release on December 10th. I used to try to work on my own projects from 9PM to midnight, but now I usually go to bed at about 10:30. After 8PM, all my brain wants to do is rest, and I'd rather spend that time with my wife. Waking up at 5:00 works well for me. I'd recommend anyone try it. For me, it is much better than trying to work before bed. The programmable coffee maker definitely helps.
