I honestly don't know! I do know that in the monastery I once had the honor of being part of the monastic community, it was felt that the early pre-dawn hour of 3am was a time of maximal alertness! So even though I left that place, I still am practicing at that hour...
Meditation and Creativity too!
curious to know... would you say that's on a daily basis... or more of a "cycle" kind of thing that varies with individuals?

oh, that is totally fascinating. and seems in line with the "first sleep" practice of the middle ages :)
