“There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.”

Woody Allen

Simplified Meaning:

People in the world can be divided into two groups: those who are generally good and those who are generally bad. Good people usually have no trouble sleeping at night because they have a clear conscience and feel peace in their hearts. On the other hand, bad people might have more fun and excitement during the day because they often do whatever they want, without worrying about right or wrong. For example, a person who cheats at work may enjoy the extra money and thrills during the day, but they might struggle with guilt or fear of getting caught at night. Meanwhile, someone who works honestly might sleep better, knowing they’ve done the right thing, even if their days are less exciting. To live well, it might be wise to aim for being good so you can enjoy peaceful nights, even if it means giving up some of the thrill that bad actions might bring during the day.
