As a lifelong night owl, I discovered when I could get to bed by 9:30 or 10, waking up at 3-4 am gave me easily the energy I'd normally have doing late night stuff after a long day.
For me it seems to have to do with being mentally rested, not much in the way of distractions, and making sure to make a list of a few things I could dive into without thought to get going. I wish I could do it every day, because I don't regret it when I do.
For anyone discounting this strategy without having tried it -- I get the studies about night owl vs larks. Try it yourself first to see how it works. Waking up early is the road less travelled, staying up late in a way is the default way of operating.
