Exactly, I tried to say the same thing.
I can probably be somewhat alert at 2am to 3am once a week.
I can't do that every day though.

But, if you want me to be alert from 2am to 6am, then you might as well ask
me for 2am to 10am, because I've already paid the overhead.

This is why I thought I'd write my email.
