Yes, several times.
Your 3hr45 might actually mean an effective 60-90 minutes landside as you will need to clear passport control on the way out and head back (it might be a long way depending on the gate lottery).
The times you're travelling on are usually quieter than the average morning/midnight mayhems around DXB so should be a smooth thing.
