night person

Late-hour thriver

A night person is someone who feels most alert and productive during evening and nighttime hours.

The opposite of a morning person or early bird, night people tend to stay up late and struggle with early rising: I'm not a night person—I'm useless after ten o'clock.

Also called a night owl.
