TL;DR
Standard sleeper buses from HCMC to Nha Trang typically run at 23:30 and 07:00, but some operators have later night departures (up to 3:00 AM) — check the exact schedule with the specific bus company and book tickets in advance on their official website rather than at the counter.
What the community said
One traveler shared that they departed HCMC by sleeper bus to Nha Trang at 3 AM, meaning some operators run later departures than the standard 23:30. Tip: book tickets in advance on the operator's official website — buying at the counter last-minute often leaves only the worst seats near the entrance/toilet, which are noisy and smelly.

Another traveler faced the same issue earlier: published sleeper bus schedules from HCMC to Nha Trang only show 23:30 or 07:00 departures, while their flight landed at 22:20, making it too tight to catch the night bus.
