Yeah i tend to do my best work at night.
I work 5 days a week (shift work so it's all over the shop), in a long term relationship, have a 7 month old son, and generally play out at least once a week and still I manage to fit in writing beats.
TBH if I had more time I'd probably just dick around playing PS3 because I'd be like "I can write tunes later"
As Ylem said, sleep when you're dead. Your time on this earth is precious and limited so you need to do the absolute most with what you have and fuck the consequnces.

work 7-8 hours a day, come home, exercise for an hour, eat, produce/dick around on the web for 4-6 hrs, sleep for 7-8 hrs.
been doing this every day for the past year and feel absolutely great and hardly ever start feeling ill.
i actually get more sleep during the work week than on the weekends, which consist of partying, outdoor activities and producing.

I reckon the lack of sleep puts you in some sort of demented creative psychosis, cannae work on stuff in the day. need bleary eyes, and a few yawns to get it going.
get serisly frustrated tho when ur knackered and you got a tune in yer head and it wont come out, and the hours are just wheeelin on by.

If I have a new track on the go the sleeping patten goes out the window. At the moment my body clock seems to be on US east coast time...
Trying to sleep is murder, I'm lying there working on a track in my head. I want/need to go to sleep when it is dark more often. This can't be good for my mental health. I NEED SLEEP.
I'm the same. I don't get in from work until 7pm so i spend from then until about 3 or 4am working on a tune knowing that i have to be up again for work in 3 hours. I've been getting 3 hours sleep at the most every week night for the past year or so. Thank fuck for coffee.
