Because I do community stuff and a lot of my best interactions happen over dinner/drinks, that means I do lots of late nights at conferences. As a trade off, I generally look at the schedule and unless there's something I *really* want to do in the morning, I will often spend it in my hotel room sleeping in a bit then quietly dealing with email and stuff.
