I don't think it has anything to do with the specific timing but instead that he made it a habit and stuck with it. If he were truly a night owl and made a habit to stay up and work from 10:00 PM - 1:00 AM on personal projects and wake up at 8:00 AM, he would accomplish the same thing.

I agree that my post was more about making it the habit than morning is better than evening. It was just that I struggled to manage private life and work life when hacking in the evening. I might amend the post to make it clearer.
How does your fiancee feel about you going to bed 9-10 most evenings, I'm guessing that's a fair while before she does? Tempted to give this a shot but I'm not sure how that part of it would go down.
She used to get up around 6.30am so this wasn't an issue as she is not a night person. But now, she is an early bird as well, working on some study, and wake up at 5am, so it's definitively not an issue ;)
I thought it was very clear, and the benefit was for your relationship.
