We always hear about habits of successful morning people, but what about the night owls? Plenty of creative minds do their best thinking after the sun goes down. These 6 activities are practiced by successful night thinkers.
#1 Read for an hour According to , Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates is an avid reader. Each night before bed, he spends an hour reading a book, ranging on topics from politics to current events. Besides increasing your knowledge, reading daily has also been shown to reduce stress and improve memory.
#2 Unplug Arianna Huffington is an evangelist for “unplugging”. Every night before bed, she puts her phone in another room so she’s not distracted by it before bed. And science proves that she might be onto something.
#3 Take a walk The busy CEO of Buffer likes to unwind with a brisk walk right before bed. He uses his walks to turn off his thoughts about work, and slowly work himself into a “state of tiredness”. One study revealed that walking can also increase creativity.
#4 Meditation Media maven Oprah has long supported the idea of regular meditation. No doubt, Ms. Winfrey has a schedule that keeps her mighty busy, and what better way to unwind at the end of a stressful day, than with a focused meditation session.

#5 Get creative In 2006, Vera Wang stated to Fortune that her nightly routine includes, “a fair amount of designing — at least conceptually if not literally.” Sometimes, the quiet of the night can be the perfect remedy for a creative block.
