Shepherds experience the angels' message at night. Our modern world doesn't experience "night" the way the ancient world did. At night we look outside our dwellings and with so much artificial light we can't see stars even when the sky is clear.
The way to experience night is in a Third World country (and when you go, take a flashlight) where people don't even keep a fire burning long into the night because fuel is precious. On a moonless night, or with an overcast sky, being outside is like being in a cave.
