I remember doing this in the '70s and '80s,
staying on the modem
all night, which may partially account for the length of time it took to
get my degree. It's the school's fault, though. I got into this habit from
checking into the terminal room at night because there weren't enough
seats to go around during the day, plus you didn't have to give up yours
as soon as your assignment was done. Habit is still with me to this day.
Yes, I have a life, dammit :-) And I'm up at 7 am, too.
Yeah I always check email first thing in the morning, right after I
stagger out of bed; and last thing at night. But now I have a good reason
because Irina's been sending me 3 emails a day; the one I get from her
when I get up is the one she sends right after work that day. But I
don't know how you guys can get up so early and stay up so late too.
I might as well be dead with less than 8 hours sleep. But as soon as
I wake up the first time and start thinking "oh, I bet I have an email
from Ira" I can't sleep after that, I gotta
get up and go read it.
But soon I will set up a terminal in the bedroom, so then
maybe I can
read it without getting up. What a life... everybody should have as
much fun and be as happy as I am now.
This piece of news has been about the best all year, I think:

"...he also slammed early rising -- getting up too soon leaves people
stressed for the whole the day, he said."
