The day does not break suddenly. Dawn lets the light in gently. But if you sleep through the dawn, of course your eyes will sting if you open it suddenly to daylight.
The night does not cover suddenly. Dusk withdraws the light slowly. But if you do not act before the light recedes, of course darkness will drown and blind you suddenly.
Nature is not designed for sudden occurrences. Everything builds up or degrades over time.
Wake up and act, early.
