There is no law that says employers must pay an employer higher wages because they work nights. The law only requires an employer to pay minimum wage, which is $8.00 an hour in California. If you work more than 8 hours in a workday, or more than 40 hours in a workweek, you must be paid at overtime rates. But there is no nighttime premium.
You can ask your employer for a pay increase. But they do not have to agree to it.

That is entirely up to the company and you to work out. See what they will agree to, if anything.
