Is it normal to feel down and slightly depressed at night time?

You should probably ask that here, http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056481009, but for a lot of people, yeah.

Ah yeah, you can be bolloxed from a long day of rushing around, stressing, managing and panicking. Once it's all finished it's an anti climax as your brain tries to wind down.

Don't think too much about it, just do whatever helps you relax and you will be grand.

Buckfast and fireworks, be grand!

No it's not. You'd better come in to check your thetan level ASAP Tom.

I'm not sure, I think much more clearly at night (no distractions, I guess) and I actually tend to get very upbeat and productive.
Waking up in the morning is like a deflated balloon for me a lot of the time. I remember the buzz I had the night before but it takes hours to recapture it, so for me I actually sometimes find first thing in the morning to be a bit of a downer.

One thing is, as I said, you think much more clearly at night. So if something's getting you down unconsciously, it's at night time that it'll come out to haunt you. Maybe then it means there's something upsetting you which you just don't get any time to dwell on during the day when you're busier?

I find night time depressing unless I have alcohol in my hand or something to keep me occupied.

Sometimes people confuse constant fatigue for slight depression.

Or he could eat a sock noodle, crack one off into a pot and watch the effects it has on his family.

Night time is a doddle. Being gripped with dread first thing in the morning is much more difficult.

I'd agree with this. Often times when I get a bit "down" I just go straight to bed and stop arsing around on the internet and tv, they just keep your brain running on and on when it probably should be winding down

is it the dread of knowing you got to go to work tomorrow

Miss Lockhart

I don't know tbh. Personally, I am much more positive and optimistic at night. Everything starts to look much better after about 4pm. Dread sets in around 3am.

I can't speak for anyone else but there's a difference for me between reading a book in bed and staying up watching tv or whatever, reading doesn't seem to keep me awake

Soooo..we know what time work finishes. And then dread at 3am before another day of gruelling toil.:pac:

Yes, I would feel down most often at nighttime.

PingO_O

Yeh, I think books require your attention and that helps you relax in a way whereas you can get distracted by various things on the tv and internet like advertisements and whatnot.

I know I can be sitting there looking at the tv and my mind will be a million miles away ruminating over what happened that day and what's going to happen tomorrow etc. so if you're like me and you can catch yourself doing it it might help you relax more

I hate the night time

It's a dark time for me

I love my job and I feel the same during the holidays. It's not work related.

I seem to always hit a lonely slump at some time near bed time causada ould terminal singledom but sometimes its the opposite and I start thinking about class stuff I could do (not as class as the sock noodle though)

night time can be rough when you have a lot goin on in your head, When you are looking at ceiling from your bed, all the thoughts from the day can catch up with you, what i started to do recently is put on the radio on low and listen to that or if you have an ipod download a few podcasts and listen to that when your in bed. It takes my mind off things and you can nod off
