Most creativity late at night?

Yeah, that's basically the reason I'm up. If there was nothing else going on but my massive head of ideas I'd have been in bed a good couple of hours ago.

Yes definately late at night. During the day I find it much more difficult to write and when I do I am less pleased with what I write than with what I write at night. (No tongue twister intended)

It is so nice knowing that most other people are asleep.

I have just ordered the book Left in the Dark and will look forward to reading it. However, I believe it was eating meat that increased our brain size.

After a dry spell of over a month, I actually wrote something I think is worth while last night/early this morning!

when i used to write poetry and currently when i blog, its usually very late at night. it started in my teens and continued through college. of course i had to be alone in my room, headphones on, and the ideas/thoughts/opinions just come alive at night.

Yeah it seems like the more tired I am, the more I can write awesome stories. Well I think they're awesome, they probably suck.

Not for me. After 10 pm I'm basically a zombie. I do my best work around mid-morning.

I've started recording music at home and find myself up to about five o'clock doing it.

I find all of my creativity comes at mostly night time and sometimes in the morning too .It happens especially very late at night and when I listen to music for very long periods of time. Repetive music often puts me in what I call my 'zen' state where I have a clear head and focused mood, which helps many of my great ideas come through

Its typical that you will be more creative as night as I am because its not only quiet but its your body's internal clock telling your brain you should be sleeping so the part of your brain that has all these weird and sometimes creative dreams starts up. its your REM sleep cycle it is possible for it to be active while your conscious which is why you have insomniacs that dont sleep for months at a time because their brain have the ability to go through a full REM cycle while they are awake

My best ideas always hit me at night, or when I'm drunk. I designed an algorithm to check the frequency of objects in a data set after 7 shots and a few pints. I also wrote a theorem describing how a point particle irradiates a sphere as a function of it's distance after a nagan. Strange

My best ideas happen after 8pm

I'm the most creative right before I go to bed. Sometimes when I'm already in bed and I have to get up again to write down my idea, otherwise I've forgotten about it the next day when I wake up.
Tiredness is apparently good for creativity. I know a guy who wrote a book who used sleep depravation as an inspirational technique. After a while he even started to hallucinate!
