You cant

Rabbits are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk. They are also active during the night. You can’t ‘train’ a natural species specific trait out of him. It is a hard wired wild Rabbit survival trait that has not been lost after some Rabbits became domesticated

Rabbits need access to a lot of space 24/7 and a companion of their own kind.

I suggest you spend time reading all of the information on the following link. It explains what is required from us to give the Rabbits we are responsible for the care they need.

 
Yep, rabbits aren't like dogs that sleep all night like we do. They're most active late at night and early morning. You need to provide things to occupy your rabbit as much as possible but also accept that this is just their nature.
