Yes, night trains are a great option! Also sometimes much cheaper than day trains.

However, on the few night train trips I took, it didn't feel so comfortable for me. One time, our train had a scheduled stop for several hours in the middle of the night at some station. There were bright lights all around, and other trains moving; a changing and occasionally very loud soundscape. So I was still all mushy the next day.

Some people seem to have very good experiences, others not so. Overall it's great this option exist, and there is still room for improvement.
