Why can't you share your hobbies with your children? Learn new ones they can share in as they grow up? Stay up while they sleep for you time?
You're right in that you really can't stay up all night in such a way that you can't parent the next day, and yes, that's annoying sometimes, but just getting older, having more workplace responsibility does that to you too. If you're serious, childcare options (sitters, nannies, etc) exist for most scenarios. I have friends who kept a pretty active nightlife through their kids younger years by paying people to be there.
Whatever you do, I'd suggest you don't bank on using one strategy. Kids change. What you can do with them changes. What you'll enjoy changes. I'd suggest you go with it. Lean into parenting to find the things you like. They'll appreciate it too.
