Hi Javier and welcome to railcc!
Unfortunately there is no overnight train from Bucharest to Sofia anymore. This is the schedule: [ux]http://p.bdz.bg/s/o/sofia-bucuresti-7188.pdf[/ux] (direct train until October 2, from then a change of trains in necessary in Ruse).
If you want to travel overnight there is a quite adventurous option available though:
Travel from Bucharest via Ciulnita to Calarasi. Schedules at [ux]https://rail.shop/cfr[/ux] (Bucuresti Nord to Calarasi Sud)
Then you have to go from Calarasi town to the ferry pier at the Danube; this is 11km and probably best done by taxi, I dont know about public transport.
Then cross the Danube by ferry: [ux]https://www.untrr.ro/ferry-lines/ferry-boat-calarasi-ro-silistra-bg.html[/ux] -
Finally you can take the night train from Silistra to Sofia. Schedules at [ux]http://razpisanie.bdz.bg/site/search.jsp[/ux]
