1. You save a day on travel, because you get to your new location while you're asleep
2. Night trains are often cheaper than flying
3. You get one night of not paying for a hostel/hotel
4. Falling asleep to the sway of a train works faster than a sleeping pill
My first overnight train travel was last summer on a trip through the Baltic countries. We were trying to fit in five cities within four countries during a two week trip (I'll admit, I was being a little too ambitious while planning this trip) so the idea of overnight travel was rather appealing.
