Get up at 5:00 am a few mornings after not going to bed until 3:00 am and you'll find getting to bed early a little easier.
My commute is 25 to 30 minutes whether I ride or drive. In the winter though the bike commute could be anywhere from 35 to 50 minutes. I'm a night owl too but part of that is by choice and habit.
Sorry about your car.
