Question

Answer 1

Depends on your schedule.

If you can get enough sleep, then you're fine.  But sacrificing sleep for a workout is a pretty bad tradeoff.  Whether you're in the workforce or school, it'll decrease your productivity and lower your body defenses - you'll get sick easier.

Try shifting it to when you first get up, if you're an early riser.  That works for me really well.

Answer 2

In two parts- working out in the middle of the night is fine.  Not getting enough sleep (due to any reason) can negatively affect you.  I think the best course of action is to schedule out your day and get your sleep in say, from 10p-2a then 4a-8a; obviously you are more on the particulars (drive time to gym, showering time, work, etc.)
