Night or Day
This is mostly true of both mun and muse, actually.
I am a hardcore night owl. Unless I have to work early, I more or less refuse to be awake before nine-thirty (and I prefer to sleep later if I can get away with it). However, I usually have no problem staying up till two or two-thirty, later if I need to. I do love sleeping and try to get as much as possible (occasional afternoon naps are my friend) but I'm just more productive at night. I always feel so blah and lackadaisical in the morning.
I also tend to get more wacky and creative the later it is. Some of the best things I've ever written (or drawn, or played, etcetera) have come about in the midnight hours, or even later. I'm not sure if this is because I lose creative inhibitions if I'm a little strung out on lack of sleep, or simply a coincidence, but I've been known to keep myself awake until absurd hours if I'm working on something. I like to follow ideas through in one sitting, if I can. (Doesn't mean I don't go back and fix them later, but if I can help it? I'll crank all of the original draft out in one go, regardless of how late that may keep me up.)
Incidentally? I'm not really a huge partier. I don't really go clubbing or do much of the "nightlife" stuff often, so that's not really the source of my semi-nocturnalism. I do go to a lot of theatre and concerts (hell, I even prefer to go to late-night movies) but it's not like I'm some whacked-out druggy night owl party girl. (I've tried that a couple of times. It's really not my style.)
It's a habit I've had since college, staying up late like that. I doubt it'll be changing any time soon.
