Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The people of the world are engaged in sense gratification during the day and sleep at night. But the devotees who are under the shelter of the Lord
engage in chanting the names of Hari at night, rather than sleeping, just as they do in the course of their activities during the day.
