Oh, I do empathise/sympathise with you totally. I am amazing at procrastinating and my sleep pattern would be all over the place if I let it. As it is, it's quarter to three, and I have spent most of the day doing "bits" of stuff on this project I have. Basically, taking all day to do a relatively small amount of work, pausing, reading fic, surfing, ebay, you tube, random sites looking for Christmas presents for people. (Yes, I was on Can haz Cheeseburger, yesterday). And only being able to really buckle down after 1am. Which, just....it's like I need the pressure of a freaking close deadline just to be able tio get me to do anything.
Over the last few weeks I have become acutely aware that I will do anything to put off doing something. Even solitare on the laptop. Which I am beginning to not enjoy at all because I recognise it for a delaying tactic. In addition to only really wanting to write when there is no time to. Ie, NOW, when I need to go to bed because I need to get up at 7.30am. ::shakes head::
And really this post wasn't supposed to be me going on about myself, but just to say that I totally understand where you are coming from, and you are not totally alone in these behavioural patterns. I can't advise you how to solve them, mind, for which I am sorry. Hope you manage to sort out a workable routine soon. Hugs.
