Not trying to be an ass but is there any specific reason why you have to do your work or studying in a public place at night?

I think a lot of people who don’t live in single family homes can relate to finding benefit in having access to a public space to do work at odd hours.

It can be mind numbingly isolating to do work/study alone in your home all day and a library may serve the same purpose, but a change of scenery is always appreciated and mentally stimulating.

I'm also a remote worker, and my most productive hours are like 8-11pm sometimes. Would love to get out of the house for a change of scenery when working

You're working alone without being alone. It is mentally stimulating. It can be and feel safer than a library if you're a grad student. And to some earlier points, I know it's not enough to justify the hours, but I spent a small fortune at those places: I wouldn't be there if I wasn't ordering. And I would become friendly with the baristas: one of us might be having a bad day and share a laugh and it helped. So that human element is a comfort when you are devoted to a long, solitary endeavor.
