This is probably true. Certainly it's what I've been told--nature of the job. I guess I either need to just accept it or do something else.

I often either start really early or finish late in order to make free time during the day.
I actually started working with this company as a freelancer and would do most of my work in off-hours. It allowed me to be more efficient and compartmentalize parts of the job that didn't jive with my own hangups. But when I came on FT this changed. Generally it's been a very positive thing and I'm probably healthier, mentally, for more time spent working in daylight.
But the flip side, it eroded all of those benefits that allowed me to get stuff done. I've talked with editors and managers and they're very sympathetic and understanding. The issue is on my end, which ... of course is the point of this thread.
