Cats stay awake in the middle of the night and jump up and down because of their nature. Cats are nocturnal animals. Domestic cats do not need to go out to hunt, so they usually recharge their batteries during the day and are much more active at night than during the day. Moreover, when people go to sleep at night and no one plays with the cat, the cat will feel bored and want to attract the attention of others or other cats.
