There’s no clearly defined biological reason for it, and it is intuitively an evolutionary disadvantage.

Any waking hours at night time instead of sleeping means a huge amount of extra energy expended to support being awake. Sleep pressure has a huge evolutionary advantage. It may be a disadvantage now.
