I'm a night owl and know my best ideas usually come at night. Usually because everyone's sleeping in the neighborhood, and it's quiet. I know what you mean. I usually do my best work at night and it flows very easily. Like the last few days I'm back on day time and not as productive. I've been that way since a child. And because society says I should be up during the day I try to do that, but usually end up back as the night owl.
Unless I had a day time job and had to be up at 5 a.m. I would agree it's probably not the healthiest idea, and I think I made a habit of it when I was going through a lot of stress in 2007-2010 until I learned how to meditate and can switch back around. I usually do forget my ideas by the morning if I don't write them down, and usually do like writing when the idea comes or I lose the whole feeling, emotion, and I can't capture it again as writer and poet. I believe a lot of writers are like this though. They like to catch the wave when it comes.
Sometimes I get ideas right before I go to bed, and say forget it, because I'll stay up four hours and right a book. So than, I have to wait until I'm in that flow again. Night time is just my favorite time of day, but society likes day time. lol
