If I don't have to get up the next day, sure it's a great time for working on something creative, but if I do that's the worst thing I could do because it makes my brain even more hyper, which is probably why I have insomnia to begin with. My solution is always to find the most boring book ever, crunchy rulebooks with lots of feats and skills also do the trick to lull my brain to sleep.Phil Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289967437263220248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-58959044872302588642012-04-11T22:30:56.612-05:002012-04-11T22:30:56.612-05:00Riding my bike at night is probably my most creati...Riding my bike at night is probably my most creative time.

Very well written. <br /><br />I used to be a "morning person" until I got a roommate my Freshman year of college in the dorms who was more of a night person, and my schedule gradually changed to the point where now I'm a night person. I'll often doze off on the couch watching TV and wake up around 2:30 or 3am and then spend an hour reading blogs, thinking about my campaign, and writing down ideas for new games that come to mind. I still keep a little pad of paper and a pen on my nightstand for when "middle of the night inspiration" strikes.Martin R.
