The reason for temperature being lower in high altitude regions (as compared to places at sea-level) is due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure as we go up in altitude.

So decrease in atmospheric pressure causes the temperature to decrease, which might be a reason for the decreased pressure at night.

Diurnal temperature fluctuations vary by location, but follow a twice-daily cycle of general rise and fall, corresponding to the "atmospheric tide" induced by the eastward rotation of the planet.

How many people go to toilet at midnight?

You see it all depends on the ratio of toilets to humans. If the ratio of toilets to humans is less than 1:1, then obviously the number of people who go to the toilet will decrease as most people dont go to the toilet together.
