Day/night cycle science help?

So I am building a world but need help with its day/night cycle and the science to make it work.

The planet has a 32 hours day cycle, however there is only 10 hours of light a day. This planet is about 1/3rd larger than Earth (5,298 miles). I would like this planet to have two celestial objects in its sky, one being its moon which is shared by the other being, a larger near by planet.

I am wondering if this would work or what would cause this planet to have a longer night cycle than day cycle? I'm open to any suggestions on how to improve this concept!

Thanks for any an all help!

I can also provide more information if needed, since I'm not sure what all is needed.

EDITS:

CLARIFYING THE TWO CELESTIAL OBJECTS: Well to be honest it doesn't have to be a moon and a planet. After reading some of the comments and poking around a bit more I'm thinking that it may be more beneficial to have it be two moons. One moon that is really close to planet and revolves around the planet quickly and the other farther away. This close proximity to the planet would be the reason for the extended night cycles. It would take about 22 hours to pass from one horizon to another. The other moon would be farther out and orbit around the planet slowly about the same time it takes our moon to pass around our planet. This would result in a day a month that there would be no sun, at all. Would this scenario work better then the planet and the moon?

ALSO thank you all for your help! I love space an love learning about it but have never been good at comprehending the science of it! All of you answering my questions are awesome! :D
