We're doing sleep patterns now ?
Left to my own devices I'll go to bed around 3 am and sleep until about 11am, but I can quickly adjust to earlier times if I have commitments. I used to work a lot of late shifts and didn't need to be up before noon.
The thing is, I suspect that I'm actually a natural morning person because I'm much more energetic and productive if I get up at five or six and it's mostly my lack of discipline that turns me into a night owl. I could go to sleep immediately after work, but I could also drink a cup of tea to keep me awake for a couple of hours and watch/read/play something.

Left to my own devices I quickly fall into a quasi-vampiric pattern of falling asleep a few hours after sunrise and waking up in the late afternoon or early evening.

The strange thing in my pack is that the shepherds have much higher intake requirements than the sled dogs, but the sled dogs are uniformly food driven while the shepherds have much wider interests.

Happens to me too sometimes, usually when depression hits me really hard and then the feeling of guilt and the lack of sunlight make it even worse.

This reply is intended to make you feel better by showing it could be worse. I'm retired. Feeding time on the weekdays is determined by when my gf gets up for work. I could sleep in, but she's up, the dogs are up, so I am up to get their breakfast. On the weekends she sleeps in, but I am still up to get their breakfast.

Play with me.
Mine firmly believe that 2am, 4am and 6am are designated play times.

Hmm...maybe I shouldn't get a cat.

If I had a cat, it would be the most well-behaved cat imaginable, because I'd give her all the attention and toys that she's asking for, and only the best food, and she'd be so thankful for it that she'd never do anything selfish or annoying.

Well behaved cats aren't imaginable. As soon as you say well behaved you are no longer talking about a cat. A cat is a cat. You either like cats, or you don't like cats, but nothing can change a cat, or what being a cat is all about.
I have to agree with Tim. Dogs think of the master as a god while cats think of themselves as gods, even when they are so pretty and cuddly.
Also, for me at least it's the only time of day in which I can be alone and write or draw or whatever without interruptions.
See the Rants thread for how I have to apparently travel through time to be awarded my super-duper university degree.
Videogames.

And in those four-and-a-half hours… you play videogames on a laptop?
I live in a flat; keeping cats here would mean keeping them imprisoned so no.

Nah. I find having a laptop on my lap to be infuriating. I have it on the end table and I watch a movie/some shows, go through the Imgur front page, read a few Not Always Right stories, and listen to music or ASMR.

ASMR is really starting to interfere with my object of getting stuff done. I should quit it but I'm weak.
