Because your skin reacts to sunlight by producing serotonin, which over the course of the day, converts to melatonin. Just as the following study states.

“When people are exposed to sunlight or very bright artificial light in the morning, their nocturnal melatonin production occurs sooner, and they enter into sleep more easily at night.”
