Full disclosure: I am definitely not famous, but might be considered a programmer.

I found that when hacking for a several months on a solo prototype project, my hours drifted later and later so that I ended up going to bed around 4 a.m., and rising at 11. It's really hard to correct! In terms of productivity, though, the wee small hours are hard to beat.

I'm also certainly not famous -- but I've found the same for myself. I'm far more productive between midnight and 4 or so than any other time of the day. Very hard to make those hours work with a family though.
