b'From an early age, GamerDude loved to stay up past his bedtime. As early in his life as he can remember, he stayed up late. He loved to get up after his parents went to bed so that he could watch movies on the CBS Late Movie. He remembers sneaking out of bed to watch the movie The Monkees made, Head.\\xa0 He also remembers making a point to stay up to watch Raquel Welch in her fur bikini in One Million Years B.C. He also talks about his late night viewing habits when he watched Gilbert Gottfried and\\xa0Rhonda Shear on USA\'s Up All Night, and talks about some of the classic "B" movies he saw.\\n\\nHe also remembers late nights in college, where the D&D sessions would carry over to the wee hours of the morning.\\xa0 And he remembers going out to the clubs and literally dancing the night away before finding a 24 hour diner for coffee and donuts.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nHe also talks about how being a night owl helped in raising children. Being up late makes the midnight feeding and the 2 a.m. diaper change a little easier.\\xa0 It also puts you in a better position to worry about the kids being out with friends when you\'re not already losing sleep over it.\\n\\nFinally, he talks about night time being his most creative time.\\xa0 He writes, and thinks, and plans, and problem solves at night because that\'s when GamerDude believes he\'s at his best. He doesn\'t have anything against mornings. It\'s just that he prefers the night.'
