Beginning to hear the word "high performance rail" thrown around to refer to 80-100mph service, as opposed to "high speed rail" which had previously been used to refer to anything upwards of 55mph (despite technically referring to a 125mph minimum). It's a start...

We've kept ours in Britain. Though I'm not sure why the lowland sleeper (London to Glasgow and Edinburgh) still runs.

probably because no (real) high speed rail; in Japan overnight trains would endure anywhere that the Shinkansen hadn't yet reached (and the remaining two both serve such locations)

There indeed is not. But it's four and a half hours from London to Glasgow on the day train, a bit less to Edinburgh. The case for a sleeper train must be marginal.
