Done both day and night runs.
Harwich/Hook is our preferred route to northern Europe and soooo much nice than Dover/Calais
Living in London the night run is really good as you can get to Harwich, get a decent meal in the town, get on the ferry as soon as they let people on at about 20.00 and then an early night in a nice cabin.
(Or if you are not the first driver then eat on board, good, but quite expensive, the restaurant is open until about 23.30 when the ship departs, advance booking recommended)
Up with the lark in the morning, the ship gets in around 06.30 local time (05.30 body time!) don't get the ship breakfast (as it's a bit of a bun fight), you will be clear of customs before 8am Dutch time, get an hour down the road (Delft is good) and then get breakfast.
You can be in Germany for an early lunch and Berlin by early evening (with two drivers)
The day run is fine, but a bit of a waste of a day
