When do you take time to reflect on your day?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 09, 2009:
Late. So very late at night. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing. I'm a late-night person living in an morning person's world; I've got a kid, an early-riser wife, and my work-from-home job that's time-shifted 2 hours, so I basically crawl out of bed and start working.
I stay up far later than I ought to, knowing how early the next day starts, but as I say, it's better than nothing. If I meditate at the very-very end of the day, it knocks me out in minutes. (For better or worse; a chronic insomniac has worse problems than falling asleep at night.) But I love the creative twist that I get late at night, and 5 minutes of reflection when it's quiet and when I'm really in the mood is better than a forced half hour while the TV is blaring in another room or something.
Plus, it's almost like a favor to my wife; the later I stay up, the longer I drag out getting up, and if it remains quiet in the morning, she gets her time to reflect, too. Win-win. Unless The Girl gets up early, too. (Or stays up way too late, I guess it works both ways.)
