Night is always darker , and dark makes us feel depressed. Also night the ''monsters'' come and try to attack us but we should never leave them to attack us

Well I've read that the part of the human brain that controls emotions is usually more active at night because you're sleep deprived. This is what I've heard anyway. But it could always be that your home is quiet and dark at night, and this could be making you feel lonely, and therefore more depressed.

Because you are not distracted by anything else and you are on your own. Your thoughts can flow around in your head, because there is nothing else to think of.

When I'm alone in bed at night, I have nothing to think about and sometimes my mind wanders off and things about bad things. I think it might be the dark mood the night gives. Either way, it just seems that when I'm alone and have nothing to think about, my mind seems to drift off and think about negative things.

At night people tend to think more about your things and problems because you don't have so much activities. Maybe just read a book or something and try to sleep

Depends on diet, lifestyle, situation. If it is a general feeling at night it's most likely being associated with a past experience. Or because you are not happy with your daily accomplishments.

Cause at night you are alone with yourself and you have time to think about your problems and flawless.

You probably feel depressed at night because you have time to think about sad memories. But as you get stronger, you will overcome it.

A lot of times we are busy during the day, it's easier to focus on other things. But once you've completed the days tasks, you have time to think about things.

At night, most of us are laying down in bed, trying to sleep. Your mind races with all these thoughts about past problems or present ones. The darkness just adds to the mood of sadness
