Expert warning against increasing thought intensity at night

Expert Psychologist Beste Çokaygil stated that thoughts and anxieties increasing during night hours stem from the mind clearing of stimuli, and explained that important decisions should not be made at night.

Why Thoughts Increase at Night

Thoughts that remain in the background during the day due to busyness and distractions can become more prominent when silence prevails at night. According to Expert Psychologist Beste Çokaygil, this situation does not stem from problems growing at night, but from the decrease in stimuli that would divert the mind's attention.

Emotional Effects of a Tired Mind

Emphasizing that a tired mind at the end of the day struggles to regulate emotions, Çokaygil said that issues that seem solvable during the day might feel more complex at night, and therefore important decisions should not be made at night.

Rumination and Anxiety Cycle

Stating that the thoughts occupying the mind at night are mostly anxieties about the future and that this is called rumination in psychology, Çokaygil offered suggestions such as writing down what is on one's mind, reducing screen use, and establishing a sleep routine.
