Perhaps it's not "extra" hours, it's time you can use productively vs time you can't.

Three completely uninterrupted hours in the morning while everyone else is asleep vs three hours in the evening while everyone is is awake?

To actually concentrate on something important, I'd always pick the former.

Everybody else in my household goes to bed before 22:00 and wakes up early - so there's fewer interruptions for me if I work at night. I find the quiet and cooler temperatures much more productive, too - but this could be a geographical thing

I do my best work after 22:00, when it's quiet. In the morning, I usually can't get anything done.
