I love Darkness

I find it hard to believe that most of what we're discussing here concerns physical mechanics; it seems much more likely that we are actually dealing with psychological functioning during periods of darkness...

Psychology is fundamentally physical, no matter how much people try to subtlely deny it. 😉
Everything can eventually be proven through measuring neurotransmitter concentrations, hormone levels, and using MRI or SPECT scans. 😉 It’s just that our current scientific knowledge and technology aren't quite there yet.

postscript
Maybe staying in the dark is actually for the best. Once we fully crack the code of the human psyche, it'll become far too easy for people to manipulate us.
Just look at what happened with classical physics—once we understood those laws, everything was quickly funneled into the weapons industry.

I'm in agreement with postscript.

I used to have that same night phase too, pretty much identical to what everyone mentioned above... I can't quite remember what my condition was called though... oh, right, studying 🙂

I honestly find that I can focus so much better during the night because there is just way too much going on during the day to keep me from getting distracted 😉

The moment Darkness descends, it feels as if my soul takes flight... it’s almost like I become an entirely different person. Everything becomes so much simpler and just... different. And once the moon is out? I honestly just want to head outside and jump around!! (Just a quick side note here: I am definitely not on any drugs or even caffeine, because everyone seems to think that's the case)

daytime is just one big stress factory full of obligations, pressure, and being forced to constantly perform... but the night? the night is relaxing, there are no strings attached, it lets you tap into that emotional creativity and actually be yourself. it gives you this sense of absolute freedom. I'm with you on this—night is special, it's where you go to unwind...🙏

👍 my favorite part of the day is happening right now, enjoy it 😁

If you ask me, I’d swap day and night in a heartbeat. I just don't function during the daylight hours. I’m constantly irritable, everything gets on my nerves, I feel overheated... But at night? That's when I actually thrive. I'm calm, focused, and finally productive.

I’ve never been much of a fan of the darkness myself...

If we actually swapped day and night, everything would just feel the same as it does now, just shifted. People would probably end up liking the daytime even more than they like the night.

Hey, I’m actually a huge fan of the dark too!
When it’s pitch black, that’s when I eat, that’s when I listen to my music... honestly, I feel like dancing through the shadows and everything else
But then, when I finally try to sleep in the dark, the nightmares hit me hard... I just can't seem to sleep nearly as well as I do during the day...

I mean, I get it—it’s honestly beautiful how some people just thrive at night because of their own personal rhythms and stuff.
But I have to wonder, though... what about the people who actually can't function when the sun is up? Like, how do they manage? Are they even able to hold down jobs, or how do they even get by? Do they actually spend the daylight hours sleeping, or are they just sort of forcing themselves through the day and hoping for the best?
How do you all make it work?
I think I read somewhere once that during puberty, that sleep-regulating gland kicks in maybe three or four hours later than it does for adults—which I guess is why there's always so much drama between parents and teenagers regarding curfews and bedtimes and all that.
hmmm
It's a pretty interesting topic, isn't it?

The whole concept of maintaining a "normal" daily routine is actually quite fascinating... Personally, I’ll cut my sleep down to just two hours if I have to get an early start on something. Getting out of bed is always a struggle, but once you're up, everything else tends to fall into place much easier. 😉

Oh, nothing much... I'll catch you later whenever I can, and I'm planning on sleeping in a bit longer
but if I can't, then I guess I'll just have to sacrifice my late-night fun
simple as that 😬

William Nelson7 said:In a way, there’s an argument to be made for it. You seem to gravitate toward the Darkness because everything finally settles down. During the day, everything feels rather bland and overwhelming—the world moves at such a frantic pace. But at night, things finally decelerate, and I suspect that slower tempo suits you just fine. If you ever want some company for a walk at any hour of the night, just give me a call. 😉

I mean, what would I even do without good friends like you anyway? 🙂

Give me a break. I function way better at night.☕>

They probably just work the graveyard 👍
