Night Time is the right time for sleep? Are you kidding??

Whilst I agree with most that has been said about fatigue I think a more serious problem about night is that it is as easy to do things(co-ordinate attacks, move across country etc) at night as during the day. Even in modern times with night sights and immensely improved communications night operations are tricky to get right. I was with 4th Armoured Brigade in Germany for many years in the 80's and we were good! but at night everything was more difficult.

One idea I had was that there should be a % chance of disrupting when moving at night not in T-mode on a road, variable on the rating of the unit (A class maybe 5%, E 85% for instance) to represent the better abilities of well trained units. Don't know if it is even possible to do or maybe someone could think of something better or if it is something worth considering.
