After not writing for weeks, I began writing again after gaining new motivation at midnight. Sadly, I could only get a thousand words down before I finally had to succumb to sleep. I've heard a lot about people always getting motivation at night and writing best at night, which I have found true for myself. Night is so different, so still and quiet, that even being alone during the day is not as tranquil as it is at night. It's the prime time to focus. Does anyone else experience this?

Yes definitely. I am normally not feeling very creative in the morning

Not until a few strong coffees anyway

Not quite night, but I do get a flush of inspiration at the end of the workday, from 3 to 6pm.
