Whether or not it's due to addiction or an illness, I think it's quite a concerning thing in therapy. I think clients need to be able to have a level of trust in their T and not have to worry about erratic behaviour. Maybe it's worth raising with her. I think if it was me I would try to find another T.
When I can't sleep I often email responses to students or grade online. I have two colleagues who served in the navy and regularly send the bulk of their emails at 3-4 am because they've been disciplined to getting up early.

A midnight therapy session would be totally worrisome. Midnight emails much less so if it is a response to an email written earlier.
Thanks for this!
