Ask HN: why are you staying up so late?

1 pointsby jw2013about 11 years ago
What makes you staying up so late? Hacking on cool side project? Reading random tech news? I am curious what makes hackers (or you) staying up so late.

For me there&#x27;s many less distractions at night.<p>Less articles on Hacker News. Less FB posts from friends. Less news updates. Less tweets. Less friends on my gchat. Less events happening around my city.<p>So you have no choice than to buckle down and code.

&gt; What makes you staying up so late?<p>1. Natural night-owl, always have been.<p>2. Can think more clearly at night, fewer distractions. Some problems get sorted out late at night because the noise level is lower.<p>3. Getting old, want to maximize the usefulness of my time. Plenty of time to sleep when I&#x27;m dead. :)
