  1. It’s important to learn at night and not waste it all with sleep, eating, and talking because one accomplishes most of his learning at night [1], that learning is not easily forgotten and is considered like the Avoda of the Korbanot. The joy of Torah is specifically felt for learning at night and Hashem grants a special Chesed for one who learns at night. [2].
  2. There's a special practice to "join the day and night" with learning by learning during sunset and sunrise. [3]
