Canada's is same way. I am from India, and been in US for about half a decade. US's process is completely old school.

Canada had plans to integrate all citizen services through one account dashboard, curious to see how countries roll-out services like those in next decade or so.

I am a BA(Business Analyst) with mostly traditional Project Management duties. My bachelors was in CS, and I still love to delve into technical details of a solution. I do some data analytics for my product. But have been interested in more analytics driven roles and eventually find a Product Owner/Manager role.

Does anyone have insight if doing Georgia Tech's - Master of Science in Analytics will help me land such role?

I think the sleep and productivity times vary with age, food, and stress levels. I used to be a late nighter almost all of my teen life into the early 20s. But have now become early(rather super early) riser.

As expected light plays a huge role in altering sleep cycles. All my devices go into blue light mode around 5:30 pm, and same with Hue lights at home. And the lights turn on to 6500K ~30 mins before my alarm goes off. If for some reason my lights do no turn on I still find in hard to wake-up at 2 just with an alarm.

As for food, I've noticed on days my diet is heavy in red meat, and fats I tend to sleep longer.

A couple of reasons for it.

I was wasting my time in evenings on useless stuff and was mentally drained to do any productive work.

I need to change the type of industry I work in, so I feel the solid block of time in the morning with a fresh mind is the best time to learn new skills.

Also, I am single and got divorced last year. I found myself wasting time, contemplating mundane things, reading psychology forums in evenings. It was not helping me get out of the hole I was in. So I changed my schedule.

A product hunt type website but for adding features to current app/websites. User can thumbs up or down a feature request, and can also thumb-up a request with some small money tagged to it. The money collected will go to a non profit.

Good point. Amazon is kind of like it. But searching for a product on amazon is like searching of some info on wikipedia.

However, Google search spans a across all of web.

So, we do not have something that spans across all sites to hunt for the best airline ticket. Taking into account all of the preferences.

What's up with buying though. Why can't their teams come out with new features themselves.

Like FB for Work,LinkedIn in for work is an 'easier' sell and a solid secondary revenue stream. They must be looking into that. If not, they should be.
