Why is nighttime so different than daytime psychologically?

Question

i love both. is it possible that in other worlds, nighttime is the predominate time of day where things get done?

Answer 1

before the dependence on electricity, daytime was time to work, do, read, see.

nighttime was for s*x, sleep.

Answer 2

It is interesting you posted this in Sociology. The night club scene is definitely worlds apart from the daylight, sunshine, 9 to 5 crowd.

Answer 3

What?

Answer 4

Why?

dark and bright

u never know maybe thats how it goes

Answer 5

I suppose its edgy in the night time bcause fo reduced vision most of the year we are still animals and have instinct for safety . Some peopel love the edginess of the night - electric light is different from the unforgiivng open light of the sun. The night is more covert - a time for thieves and alley cats.

The moon comes in the night a symbol of our innermost nature and the unknown-

all things are possible in parallel universes anything oyu might imagine may be so.

My body clock is definitely for the day time although I like the magic of the night I don't see much of it.

Answer 6

I'm no psychologist but I would say that day is different than night for the base reason that night tends to be dark. I'm not trying to be a wiseass here, but in the dark you cannot see and what we cannot see and therefore identify simply scares the **** out of us.

I would further guess that there are places in this world where nighttime is the predominant time things get accomplished, think of areas that are very hot for instance. In order to conserve water and energy it would seem logical that life would tend towards the nocturnal. Also there are tons of nocturnal animals who do little more during daylight hours than sleep.

Answer 7

Nighttime is a period of rest, peace, serenity.  It is my favorite.

You have to be on your toes to deal with the daytime.

Answer 8

daytime its lighter, the sun is up. there is natural light you can see everything and ever since ever light has been considered good and dark evil.

the sun gives us more energy, as it does to every other organism, we can see our surroundings, so our eyes do not need to strain and it is warmer.

night time it is dark, there is supposedly mesant to be less to see, or well now its less good things to see, so this is the time your body can take to repair and relax.
