I’ve never seen the HOME screen (which I think you mean) disappear in the evening. There is a feature called Standby that will display a selection of widgets on the screen (which you can swipe both vertically and horizontally to view) when the phone is connected to power, locked, in landscape mode and in a near vertical position. Might this be what you are seeing→Use StandBy to view information at a distance while iPhone is charging - Apple Support


If you don’t want this feature you can turn it off in Settings/Standby.
