What’s Your Favorite Time of Day? For Me, It’s Night

Posted byVanya Wryter ConsultingPosted inLifestyle, Writing and EditingTags:, ,

Everyone seems to have a favorite time of day—some love the fresh start of morning, others love the productivity of afternoon. For me, night has always been my favorite. There’s something about the world after dark that feels different and almost otherworldly.

At night, the busyness of the day fades. People have dinner, clean up, and work on their hobbies and fun activities. Then late in the evening, there’s the silence that invites deeper thinking and creativity. I find it’s the best time to write, especially when writing supernatural stories and creating videos for my YouTube channel. There’s an undeniable inspiration that comes from looking up at a full moon, casting its glow across the sky. 

I think part of it is conditioning, too. Growing up, evenings were always associated with winding down. After school or work, it was the time to relax and reflect. So when night comes, my brain naturally slips into that reflective mode. Time to watch TV or read a book. It’s when I check in with myself, review my goals, and allow space for new ideas to surface.

Mornings, on the other hand, carry the weight of responsibility. There’s pressure to shake off sleep and dive into tasks. Afternoons are filled with errands, calls, and appointments that are necessary, but hardly relaxing. But night is different. Night feels like freedom. It’s the time when the world slows down just enough to let the imagination run wild.

So while others may find energy in the sun, I find my spark in the moonlight. Night isn’t just my favorite time of day. It’s when my creativity truly wakes up.

  7. For me, n8 feels different. It’s like the conscious part of my brain switches off and the subconscious takes over. filled with full of hope, determination, and vision, etc..

    That’s when I stop worrying about thoughts like “What will others think?” or “No, it’s not possible.” Instead, I just sink into my work (tech stuff) with more clarity, focused, no distractions, and the results come out better.

    But I also love the energy of the sun, especially when the air feels fresh. It’s like a reset button. No stress, just the flow.

      1. Dreams: sometimes, not always. I’ve done “the morning pages journal” for 27 years. Thus …? And yet I tended bar for many years – and loved the night life.

        It’s complicated–one’s life. Dreams are a peak into one’s subconscious. 🙂

        I like your willing to look into complex issues.
