I find it easy to keep working when it’s late. Eventually I realize that I’ve become slow and tired, and I would have been better off had I gone to sleep hours ago, and resuming work after the rest. I realize that by “late night hours” you didn’t necessarily mean staying awake when tired.
I also think the immediate post-waking hour is potentially valuable, in that I feel different during that time, so might work different (in a good way? I don’t know). Maybe I just feel different because of what I’m typically doing, and if I sat down and worked, my state would quickly normalize.
