My friend Anna likes "hodiernal". I think it means "daily".

That reminds me of two other great words:
Vespertine - To be active at dusk.

And matinal - To be active at dawn.

Both subsets of crepuscular, to be active at twilight.

To Eric -- Also worth knowing is "cathemeral". It refers to having random, sporadic sleep intervals. So, basically, having no rhyme or reason for your sleep patterns whatsoever. Back when my insomnia was bad, I used to describe myself as cathemeral.
