working late

i’ve been working late far more these days. it feels easier to think and i think i know why -- no messages, no pull to respond to anything but my thoughts. it is almost 22:00, i’ve just had some tea, and my mind is very much awkeawake. . . but if i’m perfectly honest with myself, on quiet mornings, under an early fog or a light rain, my mind is also very awake. i suspect this nighttime activity is not a routine of my body but an adjustment to a suboptimal environment. perhaps. noted.
