Why do health problems get worse at night?

Question

pain especially gets worse and unbearable at times.i've been wondering about that for ages. thanks for helping.

Answer 1

although I'm not a doctor, I do know that during night and especially during sleep, lot of body functions are turned off to allow body recovery from all day tasks.

That is probably the reason that some pains that the body can handle during the day are getting worse.

Answer 2

Well depending on the condition, if its something that is joint or fluid related it gets worse at night time due to the stress from moving it around all day and gets worse as the day goes on. Anxiety related illness peaks at night time as well. Often because it is related to sleeping habbits or lack of sleep so the mind wanders more at night time.

Answer 3

Good question. Probably like more babies are born at night.
