To keep your head during sleep.
Does a tall, floppy hat keep your head warmer than something that lays closer to your head?
The long end could be used like a scarf to keep the back of the neck warm.

In the Tyburn and Newgate days of British judicial hanging history, the hood used to cover the prisoner’s face was a nightcap supplied by the prisoner, if he could afford it.[3]
WTF
So you had to have a tall, floppy night cap in case you were ever hanged, got it.
Wouldn’t a scarf work better as a scarf?
It gave you more garment to work with on cold nights if you wanted to cover up more of your neck or face.
