Notification Shade disappears every night

Since the May 2020 update, I wake up every morning to my notification shade having disappeared. Nothing appears at the top of the screen, no battery, no date, and it can't be swiped down -- it's just gone. Also, the ambient display no longer works -- when the phone screen is off, it is all black, no clock etc. A restart fixes the problem but it has happened consistently for the last three days. Anyone else having this problem?
 
The next step is a process of elimination. You've proven the issue isn't within the Android OS... now you have to determine which of your apps you've installed is causing it. The most likely ones, would be the ones you've installed the last but apps do get updated a lot... so it could be an older app that's gotten a recent update. Once you've isolated which app by uninstalling it... re-install it ( if you use it of course, otherwise nevermind ) to see if it had simply gotten corrupted resulting in the problem you were seeing.
