In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning


I have a new dilemma, as a new mama - my peak creative time is night.

And by night, I mean morning, as in 2 - 4 a.m.

Well, my darling baby sleeps quite unpredictably but I can still predict that me being up until 4 a.m. when he tends to rise around 6 or 7ish is only going to bring out the worst in me. And definitely nothing creative. So I'm having to try super-hard to start my creative process earlier but I seem to do nothing but refresh Twitter and read random blogs until around 10:30 p.m. before my creativity just starts to emerge. And then, at 11 p.m., it's time for bed.

I typically don't end up going to bed until 1 a.m. or later but the less-than-five hours of sleep is beginning to wear on me - especially since I know if I did start work earlier, I could be getting seven to eight hours a night! Heaven.

Any advice would be most welcome. And as for you, what is your peak creative time?
