I can actually do a 9-5 schedule if I have a Summer job (that isn't too stressful) and don't have to do any real work. But as soon as I have to think about anything or read anything I gravitate towards night. And the time that I spend in 9-5 situations, like most of elementary school, is lost to me. I have almost no memory of it. It's as if I have to force my body to keep the schedule, and haven't got the energy to remember. But night has clarity. I remember the first time I stayed up late to work on a project: it was magical. And all the best parts of essays I've written seem to have been done at night. Not that I wouldn't like to have my freshman schedule again (8-11, except weekends), but maintaining that had largely to do with having morning classes and finite assignments.
