All good! YAPPING IS SO REAL THOUGH- I've been procrastinating for ages so i haven't been checking either-
Idk if it's just me or i work so much better at 2:00am instead of now?
it's the slowing down of the critical part of your brain and more towards the creative part,,,,,,,,,, at night (or at least once you've hit the point where your brain feels like it should start preparing to sleep) critical thinking slows down, which makes it easier for creativity (though not necessarily productivity) as a result of much less nigh-immediate criticism from your brain moderating your thoughts. this doesn't mean productivity is directly increased, rather bc you aren't constantly evaluating & criticising your work's quality & quantity at each moment, you're much less hesitant to do stuff even if it's stupid or in the morning you'll think it's of bad quality, therefore productivity is less hindered!! it's the reason why if you can more easily write something like an essay or story or poem at night than day!!!! fun fact, this is also the reason why you aren't supposed to immediately trust anything you think about yourself (& other people) past like 8pm!!!! your critical thinking cannot immediately catch & assess your emotional responses, bad ideas and instinctual assumptions about stuff once it gets late, so you're more likely to catastrophize (or even underreact), do stupid things and feel like you hate everyone/yourself (or everyone hates you)!!!!! it's really interesting!!!!!

and once again i have yapped!!! apologies it took so long!!!!

WOW that's actually really cool! Where do you get this info from????? It makes so much sense though- but for me the essays i submit that i've done at like 2 got full marked because year 10 was an honest blessing- I'll be sure to set a reminder that whatever i write tonight i have to re-read and make sure isn't stupid tomorrow morning- Thanks for that!

i keep saying sorry for yapping on stuff i can talk about, even though i'm not, but still!! sorry for the incoming yapfest!!

it's both a combination of learning things & sayings from twitter, reddit, etc and seeing if there's any articles backing it up!! this one i feel sums it up the best, even though it's lengthy and uses LOT of technical & science jargon (seeing as it's an actual scientific research paper, though that's what gives a lot of what i'm talking about credibility). it talks about how being awake at late hours affects people's brains, and a lot of the things people say online regarding "you shouldn't trust anything you think about yourself, your friends or (just in general) your entire life past 8pm (or just a certain late point in time (if you're a night owl) once you start getting more emotional, more clumsy/impulsive, etc)" is basically just a really shortened conclusion of the research done into the way late hours (which can be somewhat subjective, so depends on the person) affect executive function, emotional regulation, and a lot of other things that factor into how you think, feel and process things, as well as how you perceive and interact with the world!! though i should also acknowledge that some people DO just find it easier to work at night because of other factors, such as the common saying "revenge bedtime procrastination", which refers to the way that people stay up late past bedtime to regain a sense of freedom during night time. so yeah!! neuroscience is pretty fun to read!!!

also this is a really late reply lol
