    The night is a time when you can’t distract yourself with the outside world. You are left alone in the darkness, exhausted. Your body releases hormones that make you more relaxed and urges you to go to sleep, but you don’t. So instead you are attacked by all the feelings inside, but without the reins to stop them.

      I feel the opposite. Day grounds me in reality, night is a time without mirrors, and my consciousness wanders around the internet. I’m not present. Potentially it can also be the most dysphoric time ever, agonizing.

        It is more or less what I meant. At nighttime there are less guardrails to stop your from being emotional and sensitive. You don’t need to perform or endure, the walls of self-control are very thin.
