so i don't buy this and the reason i don't buy this is that it doesn't happen at parties. at a good party you get happier as the night goes on, not sadder. i think the real reason is that we're supposed to be surrounded by our tribe at night and often aren't, except at parties

the reason you feel sadder at night is because your body has literally run out of the chemicals for regulating your emotions and maintaining a happy mood

I'm pretty sure this is science* but it's definitely not the only factor, and in the presence of stimulation is a very weak one *something I read once that seemed legit and will be happy if it turns out it's false

you definitely crash at night -- anything from measured mental performance, to psychosis getting worse in prone ppl, to feeling sicker at night when ill but imo feeling emotionally worse is tied with something else. you know that "everything is funny/I feel dumb but happy"?

I used to get that as a kid and I often get it now unless I feel like I'm avoiding work or something then it's anxiety, but mostly it's that loneliness, feeling inadequate, anxious rumination, cringe thinking etc. can sideline it into bad feels tho

yeah that was my primary angle, that our emotional resilience/fortitude drops b/c tired--that's what I would do, staying up at 4 AM and wailing at life when I never would have felt those emotions had I just gone to sleep at a reasonable time

of course, the insomnia itself as it turns out was related to a number of different lifestyle and mental tweaks I had to make so it's not like I _really_ had a choice in the matter. perhaps it's a useless tweet 😌
