I don't know how old you are, but I didn't start experiencing this until the winter of my 27th year; most of my male friends didn't start dealing with resilient midsection fluff until they were about 31/32.

If you're writing a report or drafting a document at 10 pm, you don't want to be lagging. Being in better physical condition helps to deal with those longer, more intellectually-challenging days, at least in my case. Even though I go to the gym at 5:30 am, and sometimes don't get home until 11 pm or later, I still have more energy from 3 pm onwards since I've started the early morning gym trips.

Yeah, like I said I'm not sure if it's a function of getting older or the economy. It's easier to beg off of the late-night food trucks because of trying to eat better than admitting it's because you don't have the money to throw around the way you used to. Most of my business associates are in pretty great shape (I just got lapped by my boss a few days ago); I think that's pretty typical of architects as a whole.
I ran a few miles around 9 yesterday morning, and I was able to stay up until 3 this morning, while being out. I'm feeling pretty good today too, so maybe I'm not dragging like I thought I was.
