My day landings are smooth but not the smoothest.

my night landings, every one of them, I can grease them in. Shouldn't
it be the opposite? I find this completely backwards as you have more
visual cues during the day.

Not unusual. Too many visual cues during the day, and you must learn to
select and use the correct cues, and disregard the superfluous. At night,
all you have available, in most cases, are the essential cues provided by
the lighting system.

That's exactly the conclusion I reached after thinking about it. I, too,
notice that my night touch downs are smoother, even if my approach isn't
quite as graceful.
