    I generally dont get up and on the road until ive been parked for 11 to 12 hours, unless I'm really crunched for time. Last 2 days I havent even set an alarm. I also find it much more tiring to do long days during the daylight... I think it is the eye stress caused by the sun light, makes me tired.

    Yeah that is true now that u mention it. Seems like the miles fly by running at night , and by sunrise its time for bed and usually not even that tired. Woke up at 0130 this morning and i was counting down the miles the entire way and i feel like ive been up for 2 days

    I have an 0200 to 0400 no fly time window.

    Driving into the night is fine.
    Driving out of the night is fine.

    Driving through the night would be a no go (unless there is a big wad of cash coming my way to do it, And I still going to complain loudly about it.).
