This habit really resonates with me! I also have flexible hours, so yesterday I went xc skiing during the day and then found myself still typing away on my laptop at 11:45pm.
I don't think of myself as a night owl, but the limited daylight during winter really messes with my body's internal clock. I'm ready for dinner at 3pm as the sun starts setting and then by 7pm I want to be in bed. Obviously, that's not reasonable so I force myself to stay up and then once I overcome the initial sleepiness, I can stay up almost indefinitely. One of the reasons I love camping so much is that it realigns my sleep schedule with the sun--whether light starts filtering through my tent at 5am or at 8am, I'll wake up with it and feel perfectly rested!
I think I will try to adopt your "no work after 9pm" habit through December, though it may become more of a suggestion than a hard rule!
Yes, doing non-work stuff during the day is such a big advantage — wouldn't want to miss that!
I experience exactly the same "phenomenon" of getting tired early, then pushing through and never getting tired again. Maybe we should just go to bed when we first get tired, even when it's at some ridiculous time in the afternoon?!?
I'll be so happy if you join me :) We can do it! 💪
