So she always sleeps on the ground. But also she normally sleeps where she is when the lights go out!  bit confusing.

I agree with that, at night deserts get real cold so they would look to get some cover and keep warm from the sand where it has been heated up throughout the day.

If I do, wont the crickets get in there and be hard to remove at night? |
The digging at night is normal. However, I would not leave any crickets in there that are not eaten within 15 mins of feeding. The crickets, esp the blacks, will nibble on your lil beardie and also having them around all the time is not good either as the beardies get bored of them. They always eat better when feed in a short time frame each day.
