What is it with night?......and with Mornings?

I have observed this happen many a times but haven't been able to figure out why this happens. There's got to be some reason but I haven't been able to reason it out.

Why is it that at night your mind is full of different thoughts but in the morning almost all are gone? At night your mind goes through all the incidents of the day; even to days before today - in fact sometimes way back. You remember all the things you always wanted to do, the things you forgot to do and things you could have done better. Your mind starts making sense from un-attached events and tries to form a pattern; as if it was a movie. You feel as if everything was planned and you are just acting it out; which incidentally might be true.

So what all does the mind go through? There's nothing specific that the mind goes through but its a host of a hell lot of things depending upon your mood and how the day has gone.
For instance if you had a bad day at office then your mind goes through the entire sequence of events step by step. It analyzes all the events that had occurred, tries to find a pattern in it and also tries to find how differently things could have been done.
If you had a fight with a friend you again start going through the entire sequence and do an analysis of the entire thing. You tend to criticize yourself or your friend depending upon how your nature is. You also have a decision to make as to whether you should start talking to him or if you should wait for your friend to take the first step. By this time you have an entire list of pros & cons for both sides.

Also at night you are all geared up to formulate plans for the next days. You are all gung-ho to start something new or to start doing things you always wanted to do but never started doing; sometimes you realize your mistakes and make it a point to apologize to certain people; sometime you remember old friends and decide to catch up with them the next day; so on and so forth.
But come morning and everything you planned is gone. You had decided to wake up early and exercise but alas you wake up late. You had decided to call your friends but now you decide against it or postpone it. You had decided to jot down a plan for you but now you don't feel like doing that - in fact you can't even remember the things you had planned.

I wonder at times what is it that a night does to you - its somehow always better to speak to your friends/dear ones; its almost always much more fun to have night-out with friends than any other time; its easier for most people to study at night; its makes it better when you watch movies at night; and so on.
It seems that nights give you the desire or maybe the experience to do things right - it could be related to the end of a journey when you experience the things that went wrong and/or could have been done in a better way. And similarly a morning is like a start of the journey where you think of taking things as they come. Or maybe you feel its just the start and you will have plenty of time to correct things if they go wrong.

Very correctly said, “NIGHT” is a combination of end and starting, as a fact all you do in a day comes to end at night and you start planning things for next day in night ? so it is end as well as start. Well brain is one of the most important (not only) part of our body and personality, it acts like CPU of computer and is responsible to process every input one gets also like CPU it has some area to store some important data (Registers we have in CPU), but unlike CPU our brain reprocess data stored in memory when free, that free time is either while sleeping (dreams) or when trying to relax, usually we relax in evening. To give a scientific view point, all the data we have in local brain memory need to be released or need to store in persistent storage and that is the time when we come up with all the thoughts mentioned above.

It is really point to think about, nice try my dear friend….
Keep it up…
