Hi Till and welcome to TB😊
It is very important for your budgie to get 10 - 12 hours sleep per night in a quiet and darkened area. Birds naturally go to bed when the sun goes down and rise with the sun. It is important to stick to a good routine for the long term health of your budgie particularly given she is female as the unnatural lighting etc could confuse her into egg laying at the wrong times and cause nutrient deficiencies.
It is good practice to cover her cage with a dark bed sheet (or similar material) and place her in a quiet room from 8pm until the morning.
I hope this helps.
