Why do I have trouble sleeping at night but not during the day?

Your body creates a stress hormone called celarax. and this causes your mind to do circles in the parking lot of

I often feel like I have to be on guard at night, so I am more alert at that time. When the sun rises I begin to relax more because with the light, it feels safer, as though I don't have to keep my eyes and ears peeled for anything dangerous. This is a common trait of people who have experienced trauma in their lives.

It's called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS), most people go through it in their teens and some like me didn't grow out of it .. a good sleep clinic is worth its weight in counted sheep. The first thing they do at a clinic is establish what your bodies sleep cycle is .. mine was 4 am to 12 pm: a lovely 8 hour sleep, AT THE WRING TIME OF DAY. of course I was up at 7 each day and feeling horrible for it. But gradually I moved it back 1/2 hour at a time over a month, making sure I get some morning sunlight, that's the right type of light your body needs to start resetting your clock No drugs, no drama just a little knowledge on what the sleep cycle is and gently bringing it back to normal. I recommend seeing a sleep specialist. I went for years with this problem and now I sleep 11 pm to 7.30 am like a programmed robot.

I am a night person. I think it's because I am scared of the dark. I am awake during the night and sleep during the day. I found a job working nights and have adjusted my life to being up at night. There is nothing wrong with being up at night.

Perhaps you find yourself more relaxed at night due to the ability to avoid the obligations of the day and appreciate the silence and peace. If you are feeling stressed from you daily life you may want to find a form of escapism, in this case sleeping. It can be due to a culmination of potential anxiety and lack of sleep during the night.

It could be anxiety, I once experienced that. When everyone in my house hold was asleep my mind would go crazy and wouldn't turn off. I think during the day is more comforting time to sleep because you know they're people around you, the noise is comforting.

Having trouble sleeping at night but not during the day...never fear you are not alone! :) You are just a bat stuck in a human body!! It's okay I AM A BAT TOO

Factor such as depression, and insomnia may cause you having trouble sleeping at night and sleeping a lot during the day. A health care provider may have a better answer to your question.

Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS), also known as Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD), is a neurological sleep disorder in which a person's sleep/wake cycle is delayed with respect to the external day/night cycle. The person is unable to fall asleep until the wee hours, typically somewhere between 2 am and 6am, and sleeps correspondingly longer in the daytime, often well into the afternoon.

Because sleeping at night is when you are expected to sleep and for some people doing what is expected is too much pressure perhaps

Insomnia in the night and oversleeping during the day could both be signs of depression. Depression is not just about feeling sad, but actually has many other symptoms as well. If you think that you may have depression, don't be afraid to speak up! Depression can almost always be helped with the right tools.

The mind can be more active at night, especially if you suffer from things like anxiety & depression.

I struggle to sleep at night because that is when I'm alone, that is when my thoughts get louder and take over. During the day when i'm around people, they drown out the thoughts and the tiredness kicks in

An answer would be you are thinking too much at night. Sleeping is more complex then you think, your mind, mentality, physical body, and spirit. When sleeping, all of these has to be relaxed and working together. If one is out of hand sleep will be tougher. The reason why sleep is easier during the day is because your body and mind is extremely worn out from sleep deprivation.

Depends. In some cases its because people have their sleep schedule messed up and the body isnt used to sleeping at a certain time, for example, till 3-4am

My focus on the lack of sleep keeps me awake at night. I know I have to get early up next morning, and thus I'm focusing too much on the fact that I need to sleep to get through the next day.

It may be because you're not getting enough sleep at night, so you're sleeping during the day instead. This creates a feedback loop; because you're sleeping during the day, you're too well rested to sleep at night, which leads to you sleeping during the day again (and so on and so forth). Consider withstanding the urge to sleep during the day, and getting your body back onto a normal biological clock.

Different people have different timings of sleeping. Daytime is when you brain feels most tired and wants to take a rest. Since it became a habit your brain and body became used to it and hence you can only sleep during the day and not night.

Because I've been thinking of so many things, insomnia attacks and emotional stress, problems......

You could be more of a night owl and some people can get more focused and get work done during the night hours.
