Do you have a night light for him? My sugar glider will bark or make this sound when the lights are all off she likes to have a night light on. Otherwise I would say he maybe lonely, does he have a cage mate? Some one to play with at night. Or it could be that he's in a rut if he's not fixed and he wants "female company" lol whatever the case he's trying to get your attention. It's not grooming sounds because those are much quieter hiss/sneeze/cough sounds.
