For many, 24 hours is not enough time to get everything done and because of that, they end up staying up all night or sleeping less than necessary. The body needs to have a moment of rest, so that it can process the day and also provide a moment of relaxation.
If you have trouble sleeping and suffer from insomnia, for example, try creating a small routine.
