Sure I love to work in the dark (and find myself most productive around 4AM)... but I have to wonder - is it possible that you are mistaking the simple benefits of being alone? Open floor plans and shared workspaces are absolutely poisonous to productivity, literally hundreds of studies have shown it consistently. Everyone is more productive and happier when they have an isolated place where they can simply concentrate without the social centers of their brains constantly running in circles trying to be prepared for the next interruption or to interpret subtle cues from neighbors.
