Working at 3:00 AM is peaceful, whether it is from staying up the night
before or waking up early...  I think hackers tend to be night owls
because it is difficult to stop working on an interesting problem.
By the time the hacker finds a good stopping point it is evening, and the
next day starts later, and continues later... next thing you know 
another night owl has developed.  I found that when I have commitments in
the evening (fairly frequently now) it is just as peaceful and productive
to work early in the morning, and there are few people around [:-)].
