lifeevolver.com — There is no hope for a civilization which starts each day to the sound of an alarm clock. -Author Unknown Sleeping in is not lazy- many individuals would actually be more productive if they slept in versus waking up early.

I was laid off for about 4 months back in 2001... My natural pattern seemed to be staying up until about 2AM and sleeping until about 10:30-11. That's great when you're not working, but if I get up at 10 now, I'm not getting to work until almost 11, which basically means it will be dark when I get off work every day of the year. For those of us who like to do things that require sunlight after work (like intramural sports leagues, or just being outside in the sun), that's not a very workable schedule. Right now I get in between 7:45 and 8 and work to 5ish. Works for me, and I can actually do normal things after work. Really, I don't mind what other people want to do, but if you work in a team environment, it is in your benefit to be at work generally the same hours as your team. People who are never available for meetings or questions because of extreme work hours on either end (the 6AM-2PM guys, or the 10AM-7PM guys; neither is better or worse as far as I'm concerned) just make coordinating difficult.

I'm not gonna lie: I'm not very productive when I've slept all day. Unless you consider sleeping all day productive in which case I guess its true.

So? Even worker bees spend most of their time idling and lazing around.

Are you currently sleeping on any sort of PAP therapy (i.e. Bi-PAP or C-PAP)?

Or it might be a testament that you might have a sleep disorder that makes you sleep longer.

wake up early without an alarm clock, even with global travel, it's doable.

Sleeping in is always good for me.
