I feel the same way.  The sun goes down and my brain turns on.  And
all interruptions go away by midnight or so, till about 7am.  I'm
lucky right now to work as an outside consultant.. most days I don't
have to be anywhere.  Besides the occasional meeting with a client, I
can work whenever I want to.  I get a lot more done this way.

Makes you wonder where the idea that everyone should work essentially
the same hours came from, I suppose leftovers from the days when
daylight dictated schedules, and then carried into the age of one
worker families.  In a modern arrangement, it makes little sense to
have the shops open during the same time most the potential patrons
are also at work, and the effect on traffic is incredibly expensive..
we have to build roads to handle massive peak times that are almost
empty for half the day.
