Any other night owls out there who can tell me...........?

Question

So, can anyone out there tell me why the pain of love always hurts more in the dead of night?????

Answer 1

Because you think more during still time.But,,everyone needs still time to think things through.

Answer 2

Because there is nothing to distract you from your own thoughts, and all those feelings you've bottled up all day come rushing to the surface in the quiet lonely darkness of the night.

T.S. Eliot once said:
"Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium"

I think he knew the answer to your question, and I can empathise ... you're not alone though, you have us night owls to keep you from torturing yourself!

However sad or blue you are feeling, always remember that only a cup that is carved deep can hold more ... in other words, the more sorrow you feel, the more you will be able to appreciate it when your time for happiness comes ... and believe me, it will.

Answer 3

Hello nite lady,
I am not too sure about this problem, but I might have a theorised explanation for it. personally I am not alone in my life, I have a very loving wife, she is sleepimg right now, and I am suffering from a spot of heartburn due to my Eating a very large dinner last nite, I am not fat, nor do I have 'big bones' I just enjoy my wifes cooking, very much as it happens, but in the dead of this very nite, I am missing her so very much, she is enjoying a very refreshing sleep, and I hope to catch up with her after I write this for you....
Am I right in assuming that you have lost your beloved, well if I am, then the pains of love will hurt you more at nite because you were always comfortable with your love close to you, that the nites were a whole lot shorter than the days, as the saying goes," doesn't time fly when you are having fun"? well yes it does, and the same can be said for 'when you are with the one you are so sorely in love with too'. as when you're without the one you are so in love with, the days will drag along, but the nite-times will really dig their heels in and bring you to a great grinding halt, where it is lifes greatest struggle to put one step after another, or even one breath after the previous one, and you will hear every single lonely heartbeat in your chest... and this is where all of the hurt is, So what can you do to alleviate all this pain of love, or rather the lack of it? do you have a telephone? you do? Oh good! what you do now is telephone your very closest friend and if they love you, and they do, and will know of your pains, they will not mind you waking them to share the loneliness of any time of the day or nite, as they would really hurt too, if they knew their closest friend was suffering the long lonely nites, and would love to either call around to visit you and cry the same tears of love for you, their friend, that you are weeping for the one that has caused this to happen to you.
My only wish is I wish I knew moer about what happened, to cause you to be this sad at nite, I will wait a day or two and see if you re-contact the Yahoo questions web-site, with more information, and then maybe I can offer better advice for you with all its sweet alternatives, So Honey, just turn this nite on its heels and walk it away from you, and go watch television, or try to write a letter to your self, with all its funny stuff in it, then seal it, and put it away, with todays date on the outside of the envelope, and don't open it for a year, if in that year, you find another love, just dispose of it, and cast it amongst everything else that has caused you so many long and sleepless nites. Please God, I hope I have answered your question, as I am yawning here and I am ready to sleep again now. So, good nite Honey, and try to get some sleep your self, a nice warm drink in a nice warm bath may work for you, and try a little nite music or a soft prayer even. xXx Tony M

Answer 4

well that's when a couple lie down and get close. Wraps their arms around each other, kiss and enjoy hugging each other. It is the special time they have together every night and wake up holding each other in the morning. And whenyour alone in bed and he's not there well you wish he was to feel his arms around you and holding you tight till the morning light.

Answer 5

Cause there's nothing for you to do to take your mind off it, it's just you alone and the quietness makes you feel more alone too. Just listen to some upbeat music or watch a DVD, that should knock a few hours off.

Answer 6

because in the cold of night there is nothing there, except the darkness and yourself

there is no distractions of daily life, there is nothing but yourself, and that is the time that you really face the pain, because there is nothing to distract you from it

daylight is warm, and people are about to distract you from the pain, your work distracts you from it, everything around you distracts you from it

but at night, when there is no one around, and there is no work to keep you busy, and there is nowhere to run and hide, thats when the pain finds you, thats when you can't run and hide from yourself, and so you face it and it hurts more because there is nothing there except that pain

Answer 7

because most people are asleep, there's not as much to distract you, you feel lonely all by yourself as the night is the best time to be with someone when you want to be alone.

it'll pass, it always does.

Answer 8

Love does not hurt

Answer 9

Because you have nothing else to distract you at that time of night.

Answer 10

because that time of the night is when the lonliness of the heart kicks it and it hurts like hell
