The afternoon is for dozing...

I'm a morning person - that's not to say that I'm terribly productive ante meridiem but more that what doesn't get done in the morning generally doesn't get done at all.   But it appears that I'm in good company - Mozart, Beethoven, Balzac and Dickens were also morning workers it appears.  And there is some (admittedly iffy) research purporting to show that morning people are more successful.  Mind you, these are for the most part people who get up early - around 5.00 most of them.  Now I drag myself out of bed at 6.30 because I have family commitments which require it, but given the chance, I sleep in until more like 8.30-9.00.  So I'm more of a late-morning person.
