This matches my own experience with productive nocturnal coding marathons.

There's something very tranquil and calm about knowing the outside world is asleep. The dark has the effect of making it hard to see anything that isn't immediately in front of you, so when you're coding you don't see anything but the screen and the keyboard.

It kind of gives you nothing else to think about other than the problem to be solved.
