Does this happen to anyone else?

I do that too. In my case, I think it's a combination of things.
1. Simple rebellion. As a child I was put to bed at unreasonably early times, mostly so I'd be "out of the way" and my parents could pretend they didn't have children. It made me feel unloved and unwanted, so I think a big part of me is saying, "No, I won't go to bed, and you can't make me."
2. The night time is more peaceful. The world is asleep, and I feel more free to do what I want without having to answer to everyone else's expectations.
3. My sleep patterns are just plain messed up. Even when I do go to bed, I often find I can't sleep. Maybe my thoughts are racing, or my body aches. I could simply be a night owl. The job I have kept the longest was a third-shift.
