Has anyone switched from being a night owl to being a morning person?
My most productive hours are 12AM-6AM. I find myself falling into this schedule despite trying to change it multiple times. Before I throw in the towel and accept my fate as a nocturnal creature, has anyone successfully switched from being a night owl to a being on a regular schedule or (gasp) even being a morning person? from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/2rdd7BN via

Ask HN: My startup has basically failed. What now?
I've been working on a startup for ~9 months (as the technical cofounder) in the event tech space (B2B tradeshows) and I'm pretty sure we've failed to do anything productive (find product/market fit, find a problem/solution fit, learn anything valuable, etc.). We still have ~100k left but the main investors/advisors (from the 220k friends/family/fools round) pretty much feel like it's time to pull the plug. My personal opinion is that that's the most responsible thing to do (return money pro-rata) but there are simultaneous voices (paradoxically same investors) pushing to keep going (continue running pilots, building out the team [we just finally found a bd cofounder], crafting a pitch for a seed round).
