Personally, I don’t manage my time. I keep my own hours and do what I will when I will.

I have always been a night owl

I usually get around 6 and a half hours of sleep with a 10 hour “catch-up” every few days, and I do rarely doze off or nap.

But if there is an urgent “crisis” or I get into a coding jag even what little bit of routine I might usually have vaporizes and I will be at it for hours regardless of how long it’s been since when I woke up, taking brief breaks (interruptions) to tend to “business” and getting right back at it until done or too exhausted to continue.

I wouldn’t recommend my habits to anyone.

I will say Learn to Listen to your Body.
It knows what it wants and needs.

I have found that taking (short) breaks can actually improve my efficiency.

Something that I find odd but true, is how often I have struggled with a problem for a long time, gotten nowhere with it, given up and gone to sleep, and then have the answer come to me either while in half-sleep or in a dream.

I have experienced this and heard a similar story from many people in various technology disciplines.

lol I can’t picture this happening.

“Murphy!! Sleeping on the clock?”
“But boss, I do some of my best work while sleeping.”
“Oh, I’m sorry I woke you. Carry on.”
