Is it normal to feel depressed only at night?

When nighttime approaches my mood starts to decline. I'm not sure why this is, but the world doesn't seem so bright (pun intended) anymore. I've found myself crying some nights for trivial reasons. It's not that I don't have sad mornings or afternoons, it's just the nights seem to be consistently depressing for seemingly no reason.

    I think problems always seem worse at night when it's dark and quiet and we are alone with our thoughts. You also may be more emotional due to tiredness, explaining your crying over trivial things. I think you're completely normal.

  • Same here. I don't know exactly why, though. :(

      For me I find that during the day i'm doing things and keeping mysely busy but at night I have time to think about things and analyze situations which can lead to me feeling down sometimes

      • Yeah, you're probably right. Or maybe its even like people who get cranky when their tired, only we just become sombre instead of cranky. Its just how we're hard-wired, eh.

    I feel more depressed in the morning, as the day goes on I feel better, come night time I almost feel euphoric.

    You could try distracting yourself, like get really into a book or something, read in bed so you don't over think emotional stuff when you can't sleep. But that's just what i do, I'm not sure if that works for everyone though.

    The night does funny things inside a bird.

    I used to get really depressed at night, but now I just find it changes my opinions and feelings. It's almost as if I am one person by day, and another by night. Weird...
