Would this have to do with your ascendant?

I go thru phases. I used to be a total night owl, but now I prefer to be an early bird, though I can't often do it, I do enjoy rising with the sun and soaking up as much daylight as possible. More daylight improves my mood. I love the night for different reasons (what is better than sitting on the beach stargazing, catching some shooting stars?)

Was born late in the evening.

My country was in communism till 1989 and at that time - we had only one channel on TV (a communist/national channel) which wasn't that entertaining... we had a 20 minutes cartoon show at 19:00 from Monday to Thursday, on Wednesday there was also a movie at 21:00, a documentary (Discovery/National Geographic like) hour on Friday followed by a movie, on Saturday we had a family show in the morning and a movie at 21:00 and on Sunday - we had the famous Dallas show at 21:00 PM.

Besides watching TV there wasn't much to do at that time - though, that was for the best - cause we used to play a lot of games outside... and with 300 neighbors in our building alone - there were a lot of kids of similar age to play with - though, i wasn't much of a group person - for most part had only 1 or 2 close friends.

...when the communist period was over - foreign companies started diving in - like TV cable companies and from 1 boring TV channel to 6 - TV started to be more interesting - especially at night time... ^^ - when my parents went to sleep... i used to sneak up in the other room and watch TV till early in the morning - with one ear on the door and the other on TV (the volume was set to 1 bar). But even so... i had toooons of energy at that time - with only 3 - 4 hours sleep - was still very energetic during day time...

... latter - the video game industry started evolving - and i had a passion for that as well... even more things to do at night time - was just me and "my own world". ^^

...as a teenager - found a group of seclusive friends with same interest - at first there was Play Station - then net clubs (as the internet was released)... even got a job at one during the mid high-school period - yet, was more fun than work and that continued one or two years after high school - at that point the internet moved in people's home and most net clubs started shutting down... I had a PC at home as well - so i kept on for a bit longer... till i started working in all kind of daytime jobs and started changing my old routines.

I like the Sun in the morning (my body does need some Sun light) but i can't spend to much to much time in the Sun... and i dislike heat waves (like the ones from summer time) - they get me so dizzy during that time - that I'd rather be all day in water during that period.
