Right, but your e-mail timestamps are still at 2am right? Your team can’t help but notice. IMHO you lead by example, and you set the example here that it’s normal to work at 2am. This is bound to increase the stress for your team. There might also be less impressionable team members, but here you run another risk—they’ll judge your time management skills. If you can’t help but write e-mails at 2:00, I’d be compassionate with your team and send them the next morning (or use some kind of ‘send later’ widget)…

I think it's fairly common for hackers and other deep-thinking types to work very intensely for 2-5 minutes at a bunch of different times all throughout the day.
