A Midsummer Night's Dream takes place in Athens and the woods nearby.
It does take place throughout mid-summer, but Midsummer Night's Eve is when all the fairies are believed to come out and "play". Playing tricks on people walking through the woods, some haunting passing travelers, a night for them to have fun. So it is based then so the use of the fairies can be used with no questioning in that time.

Some key symbols in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare include the love potion, which represents the fickleness of love and desire; the woods, symbolizing the chaotic and transformative nature of the characters' experiences; and the moon, reflecting the shifting emotions and illusions that drive the plot forward.
In William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Lysander races Demetrius into the woods. This competition occurs as both men pursue Hermia, who has fled into the forest to escape her father's wishes and to be with Lysander. The chase adds to the comedic confusion and romantic entanglements that unfold in the enchanted woods.
They are fairies, little magical creatures who live in the woods. They can be tiny or human-sized, but we of course only see them human-sized because that is the size of the actors playing them.
Titania, the largest moon of Uranus, does not technically "sleep" as it is an inanimate object in space. However, in terms of its position in orbit around Uranus, it travels along its path without stopping or resting.

Lysander is going into the woods with Hermia to get out of Athens so they can elope. Helena is following Demetrius, who is following Hermia. Puck is instructed to put the love-drug in Demetrius's eyes but he mistakenly gets Lysander instead. Lysander is wakened by Helena and immediately falls for her. She doesn't have much self-esteem, however, and so assumes that he is making fun of her, and tries to persuade him to go back to Hermia. Fortunately Puck rectifies his mistake by giving Lysander the antidote after he falls asleep.
