I found myself drifting into this pattern about a year ago, when I had moved into a new town by myself without much to distract me. I found myself getting sleepy about 8 pm, going to sleep, then waking up around midnight for and hour or so, then going back to sleep and waking up (naturally, without an alarm clock), about 4:30 am to get ready to leave for work at 6 am.
I found the late night period very relaxing, and productive if I decided to read or write something. I found an article similar to this one around that time, and thought "Aha! That explains it!"
Unfortunately, my family has come to join me here, and I've made a lot of new friends, and I'm definitely not going to sleep at 8 pm anymore. So the phenomena has ended. I kind of miss it!
