Being a forced office worker, I can honestly say that I still get more
done at home at night than I do during the day at the office. I'm most
productive when I have scheduled maintenance, as I'm permitted to sleep
in, which puts me working during my comfortable time frames (I hate
getting up early).
When I was younger, I did my best work at the applebee's bar. Even had
my own brass plate on the bar. C++ and tequila worked well together.
For the record, my home schooling son does more work late at night as well.
