The human mind cannot stay awake after midnight

During the night I negative thoughts craving a cigarette or a carbohydrate-rich meal. The human mind behaves differently at night when awake. After midnight, negative reflections have more charm and inhibition disappears. Here some researchers move their hypothesis called “Mind After Midnight”. In practice, a thesis in which the human body and mind have a natural 24-hour cycle that influences our emotions and behavior.

During the day, the brain is like a radio tuned to being awake, while at night we have a habit of sleeping. From an evolutionary standpoint, humans once had a greater risk of becoming prey at night. This makes people more alert at night to negative stimuli. If it could have been helpful before, this hyper-concentration on the negative now fuels an altered reward/motivation system. To make a person particularly prone to risky behavior, to which is added: sleep loss.

Scholars use two examples to illustrate their dissertation. The first is a heroin addict who manages his cravings well during the day, but not at night. The second example is a student who suffers from insomnia and builds up despair and loneliness through countless sleepless nights. Here they can influence both cases the most suicide And self-injury nightly.

Suicide, previously unimaginable, emerges as an escape from loneliness and pain, and before the cost of suicide is considered, the student has acquired the resources and is ready to act at a time when no one is awake to stop them.

In addition, at night, dangerous and illegal substances are ingested in greater quantities. Some of these behaviors may have an explanation in the nocturnal neurological changes. By better studying these factors, those most at risk of waking up at night are better protected. For now, the ghost, whether asleep or awake, remains a mystery after midnight.
