  That's funny because I am the opposite! I find that I function best when I can sleep later and wake up later, but I have to keep it consistent or else I feel groggy. I'm jealous of you morning people, since society is built more for morning people.

Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?
