A whole lot of other electricity demands drop massively at night, so while it needs to be planned for, the coldest nighttime period is also the time the electricity grid currently sees the lowest demand.

People are also typically asleep under a ton of duvets. It's not an issue if your home drops to say 10-15c overnight and is warmer in the day.

True. Growing up in Norway I often even preferred sleeping with my bedroom window open during winter.
