I don't have this problem. I don't know what you are going through, so much so that I wish I had a bit of what you have!
Anyway, may I suggest two things that might help:
Over at quora there's this guy that I started to admire, he said that he works out very hard, going to the gym and running. He said that he went to bed at 7pm and woke up at 3am, then went for his run and the gym, came home, showered, played with his cats then went to work.
It sounded foreign so I tried it. It was great. By the time the day started, I was fresh. I go to the gym and run but not as hardcore as other people make it sound. I could do all my "training" and running in under two hours.
You could try this.
Next, there's another technique called "the morning pages". It's created by the author Julia Cameron. The basic idea is to write 3 pages of A4, long hand, every morning just when you wake up. Write about anything, just write.
That's when you could write your ideas. In three pages you could list all your ideas, expand on them and some. There's no topic or reason to write just what comes in your head.
I used this technique to clean out some rotten cobwebs in my head and I can't recommend it enough.
I wrote for three weeks every morning without braking the chain, then I stopped. I feel like a changed person, my goal was totally different to yours though.
What I'm thinking is, this exercise might train your brain to think of the ideas in the morning. After a trial with the morning pages (or basically forcing your brain to work in the morning) then maybe you'll end up generating your ideas in the way to work. If you drive record your idea, if public transport, use your phone.
Then, instead of generating the idea at 9pm and still thinking about it at 1am, you'll generate the ideas by 9am and play with them all day long, by the time you go to bed you'll be free of them.
I am a Software Dev girl who loves Uncle Bob, is drawn to the human side of software development and clean coded applications, and enjoys acting as a liaison between the business and tech.

The morning pagesis a great idea! I will start doing this beginning now. Hence I will produce more articles here.I'm jealous. I could do all my work 10 pm-4am xD
