    I LOVE <3 the night time because I can feel my emotions the strongest, but when I wake up it's all gone and I don't feel anything. It scares me more than I would like to admit. In fact the only time I can write these threads is at night or I draw a blank... Is anyone else like this, and are there ways to fix it. :help:

    No, I'm the same way, except that it comforts me more than scares me.

    At night, I'm more liable to feel upset. I can simply sleep it off and feel better in the morning.

    I don't actually know if it's an actual thing or if it's just another life mystery, but yeah. If you ever find yourself sad during the night, your morning apathy can help.

    I feel similarly in the morning, and the only reason I can explain it (for myself at least) is that in the morning, you haven't had anything happen to trigger any emotions yet.
    Your day's just begun. Why would you be sad?

    After a full day though, you've had time to think about things. You've seen things, heard things, felt things, and night's when you have the time to think about all that.

    I know for a fact that I can't write anything deeply provoking when I wake up, but when I've spent all night awake and it's 3am, so many things go through my mind.
    You're not alone! :wink:

    I'm the same way. I often wake up in the middle of the night and write to people in my head. I mean to send them the next day but when I wake up I don't feel the same way and either don't send them at all or water down their meaning. I'm guessing the daylight carries with it some kind of inhibition.

    Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
    Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
    Silently the senses abandon their defenses
    Helpless to resist the notes I write
    For I compose the music of the night

    The night is very beautiful. It encourages the senses in a way that day's brilliance just assails. I sometimes feel invigorated when I go out at night, at least at a comfortable temp.

    I get upset at night, I cry, I am at my most vulnerable but I'm am the most courageous at this time. Most nights I am afraid to fall asleep because I won't feel anything in the morning.
