Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Night trains have to last over the night : you don't want to arrive at your destination at 3.30 am, do you ?

Definitely. But you can play with the time of departure. My train is leaving at 21:00, but you could also leave at, say, 00:30.

There's also the need to be able to have a full night sleep, which is why it is leaving early... Also, some train stations pactically close after a certain time. Very few intercity trains leave Paris after 10 pm...

When that happens with a sleeper, they usually place it in a quiet siding to let passengers sleep on till a more reasonable hour.
