Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

I often feel hungry in the late night and end up having a snack.

I sometimes study until late at night, especially before exams, because it's quieter and I can concentrate better.

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: I had a late night ~~yesterday~~ night.

Say: I had a late night last night.

'last night', not 'yesterday night'.
