Default 24 hours

I am up a bit at night to hit the john and have been that way for a long time. As a result, I have had ample opportunity to sample my abilities at various times of the night and notice a definite pattern and I would like to know if anyone else fits this profile too.

I have a well defined decrease in function (seemingly indifferent to meds) starting around 10:00 PM and lasting until about 4:00 AM the next morning. The difference between 4 AM and 5 AM is almost startling.

Can anyone else relate to that?
