Sandra,
I think it is because everything is so quiet.....we are trying to relax and sleep....and there is nothing to distract us from what we are feeling. During the day, there is so much more going on. Kids coming in and out (if you have them), pets that need taking out or letting in (if you have any), spouses coming in and out to work (again, if you have one)....and other things going on like the phone ringing, cars going up and down the street, birds singing, dogs barking; all of the normal day time noise and activity.
But at night....everything is so much more quiet. Even if a person lives alone, it is more quiet during the night, and there are less distractions because all of the day time activities have stopped. Phones don’t ring (of it then do, we have a heart attack because that means something is wrong somewhere), kids aren’t playing, dogs aren’t barking, & people aren’t out and about doing their stuff that causes noise and distraction. TV’s are even usually off, because we are trying to get to sleep, and even if they are on....all that is on are stupid shows or re-runs we have seen a zillion and one times, or infomercials. Nothing that it takes half a brain to watch...nothing that is really very distracting and that is usually pretty boring.
Then there is also the problem at this time of year, with the temperature dropping at night. Cold sucks....and it gets colder at night now. Cold that hurts, and nothing to distract us from it....and it makes for a long night.
 , because I so totally understand where you are coming from. I hope that the night(s) gets better for you.
Love and
Jose
