Because your brain is confused. You are sad, so it messes up how you feel. Have you changed any habits recently? It might be your body trying to adjust.

I would suggest seeking professional advice from possibly a sleep doctor, however before jumping to the conclusion of a self-diagnosed sleeping disorder, it is beneficial to keep track of your moods throughout the day and night, and how much exposure you're getting from UV lights

It might be due to your biological cycle. It was the same with me as during my childhood i used to have afternoon school. Due to which i would stay up late. I don't really see another reason (other than the possibility that you have night shifts at work)

There could be multiple answers to this questions. Maybe you could have a small case of insomnia. Or maybe your scared of the dark. Maybe your mind runs heavier at night which cases you lack of rest!

In my personal experience, night time is when all my worries come into my mind because it is empty as i try and sleep. Therefore even if i am tired i struggle to sleep. However during the day, when i have things to concentrate on and i am not so worried, yet still just as tired if not more, i can sleep quite easily. Hope this helps!

One possible reason is the circadian rythms. Your biological clock is set differently from other people. Secretion of hormones and body temperature changes set the sleep/wake cycle. Therefore, your body and mind are used to rest during the day and stay away at night.

If you have a sleeping pattern which consists of that you normally sleep through the day than it is reasonable that you sleep through the day.

It can be that darkness bothers you subconsciously. The light from the day comforts you and lets you sleep well, but the fact that it is night and that there is darkness makes you to be awake. Also, there is the truth that people think most when they are lying awake on the bed at night. Too much thinking can lead you to struggling on falling asleep.

Do you work night shifts? Do you go to bed at the same time every day? Do you watch films before going to bed?

A lot of times at night we have a lot of thoughts that come up since that is the time when it is quiet. During the day we are focused on other things. Since you have a choice to take a nap, it's easier because you aren't thinking about so many things.
