So this intuitively appeals to me. The fact that we wake up when our bodies tell us too rather than artificially. And fortunately I can pretty much set my own hours so it's not a big deal. But here's the problem...

Ideally I'd love to get up early every day (around 6 AM) and that also seems natural (given when it's sunny out and how we'd behave in the absence of artificial light). However, I find that I get so excited about what I'm doing that I often stay up late at night. Free running sleep to me means go to bed when you are tired right? So if I'm not tired then I stay up and can't get up early in the morning.

So I guess I'm trying to find the balance between two seemingly natural things: waking up and going to sleep when your body tells you vs. spending most of your sleep time in the dark and all of your waking hours in the light.

Any thoughts?
