If you take the Q train after midnight beware: weeknights through Dec. 21, your trip could take up to 30 minutes longer.
Between 11:45 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday through Friday Dec. 10 - 14 and Dec. 18 - 21, trains run every 30 minutes between Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr and Stillwell Avenue and Stillwell Avenue in both directions.
This means that the train will drop you at the D/R platform on the Pacific Street side. Then you walk to the Q platform on the Atlantic side (or vice versa for Manhattan-bound) and wait for the next leg, which could take up to 30 minutes.
You're probably better off walking home (with a Brooklyn Bike Patrol escort) or switching to the 2/3 at Atlantic, because trust me, at midnight, waiting for the next leg feels like forever.
The MTA has provided this schedule, which might be a help in determining whether to wait or walk:
