Sounds to me like you had some issues with distractions during the day, amplified by working at home.

Other people (like me) prefer to work late at night for the same reason, it also allows for a more social lifestyle (i.e. going out occasionally) than having to be in bed early.

It's less about distractions and more about never having the feeling of having done enough.

Being done with work by lunchtime is a way for me to be more social, but that's a matter of situation. I do "go out" sometimes; shifting my sleep time by a couple of hours isn't a big problem for me.

I'm sorry but I'm missing how can you have a more social lifestyle if you are working while the others are going out..

Not having to ”be in bed early” makes ”going out occasionally” easier!
