I've been doing side-projects for over 10 years now and I did my best successful side-project work in these hours too. I was not a morning person, but when my daughter was born, I'd get up to help with dad stuff and she'd go back to sleep then since I was up, I'd work form 5-7. Not only was it productive from a work standpoint, but it cleared my mind from the side-project ideas floating in my head so I was able to better focus at work. Unfortunately now with three kids who don't go back to sleep, this has been lost and I'm back to waiting and waiting for evening hours, and then something usually comes up to take them away.
