Oh, it’s an ADD thing alright. And 1:00 am – 3:00 am is my magic time too. That was when I always did my homework when I was in high school and all of my projects for college.
Now that I am older I am usually in bed by 1:30-2:00. But that is mostly because I am forced to be out of bed at the ungodly hour of 8:00 am, 9:00 am at the latest.
I’m not sure what the exact reason for it is but morning sluggishness and being wide awake at night are pretty much universal ADD traits.
I had a discussion with one of my friends once where we came up with a similar theory to yours. We were talking about how we sometimes function better when we are totally exhausted, from lack of sleep or from being sick. It’s sort of like shutting down all non-essential systems and diverting all power to life support. Because you have limited energy reserves you have to focus only on what needs to be done at the moment.
