Yes, he does. It is rather amazing. Sometimes I can wake up at two in the morning and still hear him typing away.
We had a rather strange encounter one night when I went, as you say, to the loo (another British usage I love but can't use here) and despite the fact I was still mostly asleep even though my eyes were open--he followed me, exasperated, with a half-panicky, half-annoyed look on his face, and so I said, "What's wrong?" thinking perhaps one of the children were ill.
"I can't write 4,000 words on mud huts!" he exclaimed, referring to an assignment on medieval African architecture, sub-Saharan. To which I could only say, "Please don't wake the children."
But still, he managed to write it, mostly in the middle of the night. As I said, he really is a night owl; does his best thinking at 2 a.m. I couldn't do it.
