Learn English – The night before last night

adverbstime

I could say "I am leaving the day after tomorrow," but what if I want to reference the night before last night? Do I say, "I left the night before last night"? What do native speakers say both formally and informally in particular?
I researched the question but could not find a clear definite answer, and I do not want to speculate.

The phrase the night before last night is exactly how I'd reference it, although, in many contexts – and that includes informal contexts – I'd typically leave off the second night:

I left the night before last.
