It 's speaking of sleep meaning ignorant and not reading the word and drunks who don 't care too.

I think that the scripture is talking about being filled with the spirit. It says those who get filled, do so at night and they who sleep, sleep. It doesn't mean you cannot be drunken (filled with the spirit) in the day but the concentration and sacrifice of staying awake makes you filled even faster and stronger. Those who chant do so mostly at night. The night is when watchmen watch!thank you
