Super interesting, thanks for sharing here. Some of these benefits are fairly compelling, especially the opportunity to work with very few in-person distractions (given that everyone else is asleep).

While/before sleeping, my mind still processes problems I have been chewing on from the workday.

You mention this under the "Benefits" column, but has it been a negative as well? I find that if I work late, I have a really hard time going to bed directly thereafter because my brain is still in work mode. I need to find a way to unwind (even if that's just taking a walk around the block).

not really. i think having worked out during the day makes me more tired so i go to sleep pretty easily. i also put on podcasts with a sleep timer and drift off. to each their own!
