Have you ever done it via the bus. Because that gets you exactly what you want and overnight buses exist almost everywhere.

There's a reason most people prefer to fly.

Except with buses you're limited to their schedule, still have to drive to and then wait around in a terminal with all of your stuff, deal with tickets, and then you're crammed into a bus with a bunch of random strangers with all their noises and smells. It's a much more involved and stressful situation than climbing into your own private vehicle at a time of your own choosing and not seeing another soul until you're at your destination.
