Why do I get more cynical at night than usual?

Just a guess, but for most of us, social skills slip a bit at night and we are less concerned with the impact we have on others because we are tired. Social skills are more learned than some other skills that require our emotions and things we have learned are available because we practice them, not because they are innate. When we are fatigued our opinion of ourself and others slips a bit and so does our control of our behavior.

Maybe you are just having more stress in your life than normal which is causing you to deal differently with people and situations. Statements that you normally would ignore or write off as being beneath you are dragging you in because you are edgy. Figure out what is bothering you and try to fix it. Take some time to yourself and destress.

Spend more time in the dark. Remember that there isn't anything there in the dark that isn't there in the daytime, you're just afraid of the unknown. Or get some night goggles so you can see how common it is. But lose the flashlights, they make you more paranoid.

I use to, and still sometimes I do, the thing is if I spend to much time in the dark I become someone else, something kind of evil, and it can be scary. I need the light

I think everyone is a little afraid of being alone at night.  I always sleep on the couch when I'm alone.  Then, I leave extra lights on and the TV on.  That helps me feel less alone.  Could you not go stay with someone else?

You could just be in fear of someone doing that. I would suggest getting a screen for that window if you think it would help you sleep better at night, and not wake up with these feelings. There are other things you need to ask yourself: How comfortable are you in your neighborhood, Are you in a high crime area? These are things to think about. They could be feuling your anxiety about someone breaking into your house.

Oh wow, I get that all the time. Usually it is because you haven't had enough sleep, or because you are too tired. We do this out of protection, but it can be a very scary thing.

Because you touch yourself at night.

sounds like u are afraid of your boss.  working in that type of environment can create uncomfortable working conditions that you block out on a daily basis.  however at nite when u are sleeping this anxiety during the day is presenting itself as a bad dream. a different job may help.   for all those people that got a thumbs down, you're answers are not that bad at all.  probably u got the thumbs up from a uncaring person

Hi,\n I teach spiritual development and your experience is very similar to that of some of my other students. While we sleep, we are able to connect to our relatives, guides, and spiritual helpers more easily than if we were awake. Some people experience conversations, others feel they have travelled to places and met people, others are shown incidents in great detail,this is what appears to be happening to you.\n Please trust in your intuition, the more you trust and accept the things shown to you, the more your intuition will help you during the day, and allow your abilities to develop further. Try keeping a diary of the things you are shown to monitor your progress.Good luck x

Only you can answer this one.  My guess is it might have something to do with how you feel this urge.  If you want to check your own mind, take a notebook with you next time and write down whatever comes to mind.  If you can't write in the dark, take a cheap voice recorder.

maybe it was the building up, the setting yourself up for the disappointment that was actually what you dreaded. when i have something unpleasant looming over my head, i also tend to make it worse than it is.  not only will i dislike BEING there, i also dislike having to think about it.\n\nby the time you GOT there, you're already halfway done.  maybe this ISN'T so bad, and i'll be done with it in a few short hours soon, and i'll get to go home!  why was i even worried in the first place?  whew!

Lately I find myself waiting until the night something is due to really get cracking.  Sucks.

if you also do this & other things like closing the blinds when it snows & is dreary otherwise, you may have seasonal affective disorder---a mild depression which can be treated easily...you need to look at some websites about it

Are you asking why? or are you making a general assumption? To be honest with you, I thought it was only the baby boomers who made sweeping generalizations about a group of people. I know when I have trouble sleeping, I get more rude and obnoxious. When I have some sleep, I usually have calculated answers and questions that I enjoy a diverse array of answers to. I think its because your mustache and Adam's apple shows less in the dark of night.

You may be experiencing a subconscious effort of your body trying to tell you to stop feeding it poison, or you made an ass of yourself. Or, since alcohol is a depressent, and guilt can be a result of a more depressed attitude, it really could be the alcohol. Take more vitamins to replace the ones you sapped, that could ease it... or don't drink alcohol. And yeah, I usually feel bad about drinking the next day 'cause it's bad for me and I make an ass out of myself.
