Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Night and Day are among the Blessings of Allah and are Signs of TawhidAllah reminds His servants of His favors towards them by subjugating for them the night and day, without which they could not survive. He explains that if He made the night continuous, lasting until the Day of Resurrection, that would be harmful for them and would cause boredom and stress.
