Hemingway had a huge insomnia problem. When asked about it he said that experience had taught him to never give in to the impulse to get out of bed and do something in the middle of the night but to just lie there till 6 AM or so. Get up and the next day is shot. Lie there and you get at least some of the recuperative power of true sleep. Well, it's one theory. Insomnia's a total bitch.
When my daughter was in junior high and hated to get up early, in the dark, to get ready for school, she called it the Butt Crack of Dawn. Appropriately I thought.
I question the "so very late at night" idea with the consideration that Chip A may actually be ahead of the curve and posting very early in the morning.
Those early hours are often times when creative thoughts are free to flow without the constraints of more socially measured time.

Release the Kraken!

Now I understand why Chip posts so very late at night...
Nice self-portrait!

I prefer the other than Freud interpretations.
There be dragons!
