YES! Night tends to be my best brain time, psychologically and cognitively. So it's hard to say, "Ok, let's shut that off, so you can spend more time in the not-so-good parts of the day!"
I don't actually know how long I've been up, though I know when it most likely would have been. Up, probably about 4 am. 3 planes and 7 times zones later, landing at about 7:30 am. And went straight into the day. And well past midnight (2-3 am, maybe?), perky as a squirrel and talking a mile a minute.

Zero sleep (I can't sleep in moving vehicles, let alone in the dark of night over an ocean(!) Lol.) It's the time zones that confuse me trying to calculate. Fortunately, it was a
good hypo it'd sent me into. (3 weeks later, I was still getting everything and a half done.) I wasn't dx'd (and therefore unmedicated) at the time.
I could not begin to figure how often or for how long of stretches where I've operated on very few hours for days on end. Very common. Haha -- Set the scene…. In recent months, I've spent many nights up working on projects with BF, where I'll turn in usually 2 or 3 am+ when alarm is set for 6:30 for work. If not working, I might go till 4:30 - 5 am. And get up late morning. SO.
Last night, it's after 3, not tired and I mention I'm thinking of just going straight through. "Oh,
NOooo you don't!!" he immediately replied. Hahaha. (I'd already taken something for sleep.

)
