I hate coding when I'm sleepy, but I like to code during the day and debug during the night :D

Yes, I prefer bug fixes at night to. I usually so alot of posting on forums at night too. Program in the day and bugfixes and code releases at night!

One of the major things I like about it is the lack of distractions. I find I can code nonstop in durint he night where I have to start and stop during the day.

To tell the truth, I code best whenever.  I don't have a programming clock, minus a binary one literally in my room ::).  Thing is, I normally am horrible coding at night, because have no inspiration to make anything.  I get my best inspiration during the summer on a slightly humid day, staring out the window into the small oak 'forest' across the street....

And I daydream.  Once I daydream, I get the best ideas imaginable, and therefore my best games have been made during the summer, such as the never-released SOLDAT that was "sure to win the Axe summer contest of 2010" until I got stuck with code :(

TL;DR -- hard to daydream good ideas during nighttime, since it is not technically daytime and therefore you cannot dream without sleeping ;)

Ashbad: I can daydream at night. Maybe it has to do with being a catboy-loli-ballerino.
I program/write/draw whenever the idea strikes me, but my longest continuous stretches of those activities occur at night.
I'm sorry if that sentence made sense, it was not meant to.

My motivation to code comes only when I am at work or elsewhere away from a computer. X.x

I daydream at night just not as much. I program three time as fast with half the bugs late at night/early in the morning. I think its because of the lack of distractions and the focus I can obtain at that time. when I get near crashing(falling asleep while coding. It has only happened to me once before) though I only code 1/5 speed and with >9000 times more bugs.

Same, it sucks but I guess that means I'm not distracted by forums or IRC.

I work best between 11 and 2 at night. Everything seems to work smoother for me, no real idea why x.x

So true. The best time to code, but especially to debug is 11pm to 2am. After that I start getting tired.

I don't even stay up that late (I'm a heavy sleeper), but I did find that my best time to code is just before bed. Something about sleep? Maybe it's a Ballmer peak of awareness.
