First two days of a new month, I got higher than average daily data use. Example: My 500GB ($30/mth) plan started a new month this morning and the stats showed a usage = 5.490MB. Days before, the usage was:

What is the reason for such high data usage when "I was sleeping"?
@withashoutAsk your phone. Go into settings and data usage and look at what app(s) were using it.
Just because "you" are sleeping, doesn't mean your phone is. Maybe your map was updating. Maybe facebook was doing something, maybe the app store was installing the new version of samsung pay or uber, maybe your pictures were being backed up to the cloud, calender sync, contact backup, etc or some other app (even if you don't use it, or even know that its installed). Maybe it was a malicious app stealing your identity.
Take responsibility for your phone or accept that it will do anything it wants without you giving it permission while you are sleeping. Maybe one day it will use 100mb the next day it will use 0. Many things that use data on the phone are not regularly scheduled. Get a firewall. Disable backround data for apps that you don't want to access. Uninstall apps that you don't use. Root your phone, Install a custom operating system. Disable auto-updates, etc
P.S. 30mb is basically 0mb. Its not "high" data usage. 30mb can be used up in a minute on 3G and fractions of a second on LTE/4G
