Why am I extremely motivated and productive at night?

When it’s late at night, usually 10 pm or later, I suddenly go on a rampage of excitement and productivity. During the day I’m usually stuck on my phone or doing other mundane tasks, feeling unmotivated and struggling to get started on anything. Then, it’s almost like someone flips a switch, darkness comes and I suddenly want to clean, organize, write, enjoy hobbies, and get my life together.

It’s so frustrating because I wish I could bottle up whatever happens to my brain at night and use it during the day instead. Does anyone know why this happens? Is it just being a night owl, or is there something psychological or neurological behind it? And has anyone figured out how to transfer even a little bit of that late-night motivation into daytime hours? It’s really starting to impact my life.
