I suspect that it reflects the amount of employment and life history. Night-owling is for the kids.

As a student, I was most productive at night -- because I was in school or working during the day, and the evenings were for homework, including programming. After years of that, the habit can persist even though you may get a day job doing programming. But as you work more years you may find that you accomplish more during the day. And, if you're married with kids, the evenings may be totally "unproductive".

On the other hand, the work day may get interrupted by meetings and such.


I still use occasional evenings for personal/hobby projects, but not for work.
