My night time work is primarily due to something being due the next day. Procrastination? yes please! My parents never really enforced a work ethic. I'll definitely make sure my kids get it, though! Unless it's genetic? Oh god...
Working fairly normal business hours coupled with a long commute to work has in a single week destroyed my habit of staying up really late. I've gone from routinely going to bed between 2 and 3am to being unable to getting up at 7:30 because I can't sleep in any later. I'm not sure how to feel about this.
It's hard. I get up at 7:15 for work and therefore plan to be in bed at midnight, but something interesting always happens on the internet and makes me stay up another hour or two.
So I just kinda get gradually more tired as the week goes on, and then make up for it on the weekend by sleeping till like 1pm.
There's no way to make up for lost sleep. I don't know if that's an actual medical fact, but I think it's just saner to act as if it were. It'sawful hard, but you should try to wake up early on weekends AS WELL as weekdays. I know I don't do it myself, but it's the only way that some day your body might actually get used to a sleep schedule of sorts.
I get up at 5:45am now. Sleeping in on weekends now means 7:30 and only because the house is full of people on weekends who won't go away or be acceptably quiet until 11:00 or so making it impossible for me to sleep until later.
I've spoken about this subject extensively in the past with Lauren. Sleeping is probably the single most pleasurable and enjoyable thing in life. To make matters worse, I just moved to a city where it's actually cold. It's so hard getting out of bed in the mornings when my covers are so warm and soft.
That's some truth right there. My old apartment was always warm (A perk of central air, I suppose) and now every morning it's cold. I mean, I like the cold, but leaving a warm blanket is the hardest thing to do in the morning.
