She's afraid that the Friar's potion might not work, or work too well and kill her, and she's afraid that she might wake up in the tomb full of dead folks and nobody will come to collect her while she goes nuts.
Juliet is anxious for the night to come because that is when she plans to secretly meet Romeo, whom she loves, in the garden. She is eager to be with him and fears that the day may linger too long, delaying their precious time together.
Juliet is worried because she sent the nurse at nine, she does not return for 3 hours.
She is also frustrated because the nurse, instead of telling Juliet what Romeo said, spends time complaining to Juliet how shes tired and how her bones ache.
She is 13 - which is very young.
She has never been in love before and she has only ever read about it - it's a whole new world.
It is in secret.
Her parents (if they knew) would disapprove of the match as he is a Montague.
The steps she takes to be with Romeo (e.g. the potion) are risky.
She had to consummate her marriage as soon as possible for it to be legal. But this was not her main concern, nor that of the Friar or the Nurse. As her soliloquy "gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds" shows, she is anxious to have sex with Romeo because she is in love with him and desires him. She has resisted having sex with him without being married, but now that they are married, she is impatient to be his wife in the physical sense and not just in name. Yes, a consummated marriage could not be annulled, but that was not what Romeo and Juliet were mostly interested in.
So she can have sex with her husband Romeo. It is her wedding night, after all.
To be sure that she doesn't come to while above ground, which would then ruin the plan to reunite Romeo and Juliet
Juliet sends a messenger to Romeo in the morning to find out if he still wants to marry her as they had discussed the night before. She is eager to know his intentions and is anxious to hear his response.

This phrase from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is a metaphor for the swift movement of time, urging the night to pass quickly. Juliet is impatient for night to come so that she can be with Romeo. "Fiery-footed steeds" refers to the horses pulling the chariot of the god of the sun, representing the passing of time.
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Towards Phoebus’ lodging Juliet is asking for the night to come quickly.
Juliet and Friar Laurence planned to get Romeo and Juliet together, but Capulet wanted to marry Paris to Juliet on Thursday. The Friar gave her a potion that would make her seem dead for 42 hours, which she was to take Wednesday night. Friar Lawrence sent a message to Romeo for him to come and get Juliet when she awoke on Friday. But Capulet changed the wedding to Wednesday which meant that Juliet would have to take the potion late on Tuesday night which she did. That meant she awoke Thursday evening. Even if Romeo had received the message to come on Friday it would have been too late.
Well, Romeo would come and see her at night as this is when he would most likely not be able to be caught. So that's why she wanted them to come, so she could see Romeo.
In Juliet's soliloquy in Act III Scene 2 of "Romeo and Juliet," Shakespeare repeats words with dark and foreboding connotations like death, night, and tomb, creating a sense of impending tragedy and despair in Juliet's thoughts. These repeated words underscore Juliet's inner turmoil as she wrestles with conflicting emotions and decisions.
He come to juliet tomb to mourn her death.
Romeo denies spending the night with Juliet and tells Friar Laurence that he only spent time talking and exchanging vows with her. He explains that they were married that day.
"Night's candles" is a metaphor used by Juliet to describe the stars in the night sky. She is expressing her longing for Romeo and comparing his eyes to the brightness of the stars in the darkness of the night.
