Morning or evening person?

Evening. Can't work before 10 am. Usually sleep around 2-3 am. Don't mind all-nighters - I do them even if there's nothing super-pressing because I'll probably catch up on sleep through napping / waking up late ;)

Wowowowwoow! I have never done an all-nighter before, how do they feel? I get sooo sleepy drinking coffee aswell which is weird.

I also work very well under pressure so usually sleep quite late if I have a deadline or something very important to complete.

You feel terrible the next day, but it's just a general sense of fatigue for me! I guess that I recover quickly because I'm used to being sleepless (even though it's bad for you etc etc). I can't imagine myself getting into the professional rhythm, with 9 am starts... I'm probably suited to the working style of a US firm after all :)
