What do you think?

Any of you guys work nightshift or used to work at night? Do you think that working at night decreases your productivity or things like "Where was I?", "What was that again?" happen in the middle of coding?
I used to work late into the night (i.e. until 4-5am) because that's when I was most alert. Of course, I still needed my sleep, so would roll into work around 2pm. These days I prefer to start work early so I'm more in sync with the rest of the world, which can be helpful when you need to interact with other humans. Left to my own devices, I would prolly slip into night phase pretty easily. /ravi

I feel able to answer that, but I shall keep my own counsel. BTW, Have you dried out yet? Has your liver?

Yes, you would never know a cr@p juggler had been near me.

Think so, it is away to get its fortnight rest though, so all good for next time home.

I used to work permanent night shift. It was just me, all alone in the office (this company really didn't care about Health and Safety laws). I found I was much more productive because I didn't have to deal with the morons who made up the day shift.

I used to have a job like that. It was fantastic. Though I had another job with more typical hours and a nap room, which was also good.

Pretty much describes my thought process all day long, everyday.

Interacting with other humans can be done all electronically. Tell that to the married couple I saw in the country club this one time, who were sitting across the table facing each other, both on their smartphones and not looking at each other a single second. Now THAT's a non-relationship.

I worked for six months from midnight to 8 at a bank migrating data from one system to a new one. While providing support for the migration team I also worked on the cash box software. I used to go to the pub for dinner before going to work, hardly any booze, then a breakfast restorative after work. It was all very weird working the wrong way round.

Don't get me wrong - I enjoy face-to-face interaction with humans, esp. devs and end users. But it's the interruption free (and ambient-noise free) environment of my home that I often miss. /ravi

This happens at night only if: a) you are used to work during days and not nights. b) you work in the middle of a disco and the gogos are just in front of you. c) you have your wife/girlfriend in front of you and has decided not to allow you to work (and of course she is nice-looking). :thumbsup:

No, it increases my productivity because I generally have less distraction and can get more done.
