A preacher on the radio is trying to convince people to go to sleep early.
“It makes no sense to stay up late!” he exclaims. “I have never heard of anything fun, useful or important taking place after 9 pm. Have you?”

It is pure anti-intellectualism. ‘Burning the midnight oil’ is a euphemism for that dangerous activity known as studying.
Of course, as you suggest, there may be other temptations at that time also.
