Might be interesting if night time does a couple of things.
1. Certain enemies that aren't nocturnal are sleeping at night
2. Nocturnal enemies are awake
3. Enemies that aren't used to the darkness cannot see you just as you can't see them unless you have a torch or your armor has a light source. Therefore having a glowing armor could be detrimental for being sneaky.
So basically you can sneak into a bandit camp while they sleep and steal or kill them making sure not to let them alert the others. In this case you might be able to accomplish a quest by stealing the item you're supposed to get off them. Or maybe sneak out keys from a sleeping prison guard to free a prisoner. Sleeping deer can be easier to catch as well. So it shouldn't just be friendly NPCs that have a sleep schedule but so does your enemies and you can take advantage of it granted you're quiet enough.
Whether you want to use the darkness for peaceful methods or use it to jump your enemies would be up to you.
