I used to be like you, but now I am appreciating quiet solitude.

I am most effective between 10pm and 2am. It is weird, but knowing everybody else is going to bed, and you are coding, makes you more efficient,

I am also very efficient between 6a.m and 8-9am.

It also might be related that the background sound level drops by few decibels during the night.

I just can't do much work during the day, unless there some other kind of pressure (i.e. I have to finish something by that day).

I'm the exact same way. I am most productive from about 11pm to 4am. Luckily my 9-5 only requires me to work "just hard enough to not get fired." I'm also still in college, so my college roomies don't mind the music at 3am, as long as it's not blasting.
