Most maps where night battles are optional can cause your ships to sink if they took heavy damage during the prior day battle, there may be some exceptions. Honestly though, there still doesn't seem to be any reliable reports of moderately damaged ships sinking and I've kept going with many ships in that state with no losses so far.

So yes, your ships can sink if they were heavily damaged and you decide to go into night battle.

Sinking at moderate damage is still, mostly, unconfirmed.

Fatigue may play a factor, you should avoid sending tired ships out unless you're absolutely certain about what you're doing.
