How to ask for meetings at evening instead of early morning?
We have to collaborate with someone based in India. As a project deadline is closing in, we started to have daily 8 am meetings. I'm a night owl. I usually wake up around 10:30, and leave work at around 7:30 to 8. Waking up at 8 really throws me off my schedule leaving me sleepy and unproductive for the whole day. I know this isn't "normal" but it works best for me.
As the most junior attendee of these meetings, what would be the most polite way to request flipping the schedule? I think it makes more sense anyways if we were the ones attending at 9 pm, so that the others call in at 10 am. Why not place the "smaller" time gap in the day rather than the night so that they don't have to stay up later and we don't have to get up earlier?
