All your best success comes after 1am

Productivity and results come best late at night. It's a fact.

All the best things, and all the best people, work best late at night.

While sleep is satisfying and awesome, it's entirely counter-productive.

If you want the most out of your life, learn to survive in a half-awake half-asleep state. This way instead of wasting your time lying around unconscious between the hours of 1am and 4am, you can get some work done.

The most awesome people you know seem to be able to manage all of their work, studies, and extra commitments and still have time to socialize. To let you in on a secret, it's because they're Night Owls

Night owls are awake in the darkness getting things done when you're asleep and can't bother them. They're up taking advantage of a distraction free window of serenity. They're up methodologically working their way towards a brighter future; they know that what will set themselves out from the crowd is their ability to over apply themselves and ultimately achieve results.

"How is that possible", you find yourself wondering, when pulling one late-nighter to get that assignment finished leaves you wrecked for the next 48 hours?

The reality is that you're just out of practice. You've fallen for that old myth that you need 8 hours a night to be a functioning human being. 

Pro-tip: You can sustain balance, and conversation for a day on as little as 5 hours sleep a night. 

While advice is plentiful on how to shift your body clock into a more productive setting, such methods take application and motivation; the two things we know won't be present in your apathetic city bound soul.

If you're not naturally an insomniac there are plenty of ways to cheat and bring out about a state of constant alertness. As already discussed, the best way to fuel your winning ways is with coffee, which also happens to be the most readily accessible stimulant to power you through the dark of the night.

 

So next time you're feeling tired, push on through and get that extra bit of work done - you'll be pleased the next day when you're not stressing or rushing to complete it for some arbitrary deadline.

Besides, sleep is so much more rewarding when you've actually earned it through hard work and personal application.
