I did the same thing. It got to the point where I had to set it to about 5 snoozes of 3 hard math problems then a final 5 problem set.

It worked for a few months, but eventually I began just hard powering down the phone and falling back asleep for hours.

Needless to say, I have never been successful at any job or school where I wasn't able to work afternoons or nights. I don't even bother applying for jobs that do a typical 9-5.

It has kind of set my life on a strange course.

And it's now almost 7am, I haven't slept, and I will probably end up staying up all day...




Ha, any suggestions on roles other than programming that are good for night-owls?


There are a lot of service jobs for night owls. Pretty much any place that serves customers at night has jobs for night owls.


Cinema projectionist is the classic one (from the film Fight Club!)
