Why do emotions so easily become so overwhelming at night?

@SW-User The brain has a funny way of winding down by amping things up to 11.

@UndeadPrivateer the brain becomes calm and you begin thinking about things you avoid thinking about

@SW-User I can't say I avoid thinking about things much, I'm more of a directly-facing-uncomfortable-realities sort. Nor that things pop into my head at night that don't other times. Just that emotional waves seem to hit harder and breakdowns happen faster. 🤷‍♀️
