My home is equipped with Thomas Edison‘s electric lamps. I can write with my quill all hours of the night without getting any soot on my walls.
Personally, I’ve always been partial to Nikola Tesla’s alternating current.
Did you not see Mister Edison’s demonstration of how dangerous that is? It killed that beast from the dark continent dead! Surely 200 years from now our descendants will laugh at us for ever giving Tesla the time of day for his proposterous schemes.

Oh, don’t get me started on my wax cylinders. Those are great for powering through late night sessions.
Poorly.
Accumulate a massive sleep debt, crash when I can’t go anymore. This will repeat until I have a heart attack or aneurysm yelling at yet another day walker that can’t drive for shit. Otherwise, everything is peachy.
This and caffeine
Wife thinks I’m being lazy bc I crash and don’t help with baby on weekend mornings … I call her lazy when she falls asleep after I put the toddler to bed on weekdays.
We have a happy marriage.
That’s the neat part. I don’t
Work 3rd shift, sleep until 5pm, get accused of vampirism.
Hey, uh, is this just a hair or does my mirror have a crack in it?
I am tired. All the time.
It’s easy, just sleep for 3-4 hours then wake up and drink coffee and feel terrible every day of your life! Gotta love that 9-5 hustle.
I wish I could say that I did things differently when I have time off, but I still stay up late and get up early(ish).
I can’t stop living life to the fullest by staying up late and scrolling/gaming. /s
I don’t, that’s why I chose to be a night owl. Society happens during the day and I want no part of it.
You don’t really choose to be a night owl though, it’s mostly genetic
Well I guess I’m lucky that I’m a night owl and an introvert
I assure you, I do not cope at all. That’s why I’m up at night, when the rest of modern society is asleep.
I am single with no children. Having no reason to switch to a “normal person” schedule on my days off, I simply don’t. Combine that with blackout curtains and I don’t have many problems. Occasionally I need to engage with a business who for some God-awful reason insists on doing work before noon, and those days suck, but otherwise I’m good.

I work with a lot of Chinese and Indian people, and they often work into the late nights to match the US hours.

Wherever you live sounds like paradise
That sounds like Spain

My consciousness is sustained with a careful balance of caffiene and adrenaline. If I stop drinking coffee and fix my anxiety disorders, I will probably die from the many years of accumulated sleep debt
Coffee, work from home, a somewhat flexible schedule that lets me start a little later if I need to, and strategic use of sick time when I get really out of sync.
Unless you were asking about free time. In which case, it helps to know where all the 24-h and open-way-late businesses are, and to have plenty of hobbies to pass the time while everyone else is busy sleeping.

Depends on who’s in the office
There’s a reason I moderate !flashlight@lemmy.world and other related communities.
The thing I hated the most about covid was how businesses reduced hours. It was stupid when it happened because it meant people were more likely to come in contact during the fewer hours the stores were still open. It was stupid in hindsight because the stated reason was so they could be closed to sanitize when a) covid doesn’t last that long on surfaces anyways, and b) it’s airborne and wasn’t really transmitted on surfaces in most cases.
In the end, it’s just harder to function as someone who often starts their “morning routine” in the afternoon. Especially being in a location where for some reason everything closes like mid-afternoon Sundays.
