Should I work in our bedroom?

Because of the different timezone the company I work for, I always need to work at night starting at about 2 to 3am until noon in the next day. I prefer to work in the bedroom because my desk and office chairs are in the bedroom. But if my wife come to sleep, I will move to downstairs and work in the living room instead.

My wife usually go to bed together with my DD in DD's room every night at 9pm. She would then comes back to sleep in our room in the mid night after she awake and finished some housework. Because DD room don't actually have a bed for her and she needs to sleep on the floor.

My wife dislike my working in bedroom and wants me to work downstairs everyday. She said it's annoying to wait for me to move downstairs every time she comes to sleep.

My wife wants the bedroom emptied waiting for her to come. But I want to maximise my time by occupying it when there is no one using it. AIBU?

I'm confused. She comes to bed at midnight at which point you take your laptop and go downstairs. There is obviously something more going on here. If it's simply you fold your laptop and leave then I don't see the issue as presumably she is awake when she walks in. Why does it take you so long to leave?

Ah I see you wrote in the mid night. So you could be working. Sounds crazy that she goes to bed after 2am. Surely your DD gets up early.
