I work from home so I do this and end up napping a lot during the day. But I get so much done in the evenings after regular work hours without all the meetings and slack chats and zoom calls and emails and whatever other bullshit.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Stolen from some time ago from another forum:
This is me. For me, it's not about the next day, but exactly about that "nothing can happen" feeling - everyone is finally asleep, no one has any expectations towards me, nobody will be calling me (it's night, it's rude to call people at night), nor will they be texting me (they're normal people, they're already in beds, sleeping). It's the only time my body is able to relax a little. It's the only time I can think about things, without interruptions and the nagging feelings I should be doing something else.
I tried, I tried really hard to give it up, but I can't. Now, with small kids in the mix, the mornings are not even an option.
This is what "revenge" in "revenge bedtime procrastination" is about. That feeling that it's the only time that's actually yours, the only moment of actual autonomy in your life. Everything else is driven by others - working a job, running errands, being there with your loved ones. When it starts feeling like an unending stream of obligations, those few hours late at night are a form of defiance, showing the middle finger to the universe, reclaiming some time for yourself.
I feel you mate. ❤️
This is what my brain says after waking me up at 3am. Then I'm just getting snoozy around 7 and it's time to get up and it's like ahahaha gatcha bitch!
I'm reading this post at 3am after a four hour video game binge... Fuck my life..
