After the hustle and bustle of the day, people often like to spend loving moments with their partner. It is a natural process, and most people experience such beautiful moments at least once in their lives. These are the moments that people remember throughout their life, because most of the day is spent in work and food. When night time comes, the atmosphere becomes quiet. Especially after midnight, it has been observed that men become more romantic and emotional. It’s not just a habit; Hormones also have a big role behind this. Let us know why the mood of men changes suddenly after midnight.
Hormone levels in our bodies change between day and night, which is called the circadian rhythm or body clock. According to the Society of Endocrinology, testosterone, the main sex hormone in men, is at its highest in the morning. This is why morning is considered the time of energy and activity. After a busy day, when the atmosphere at night is calm, the body starts to relax. A study published in the Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology reported that late at night before sleep, the body experiences fluctuations in the gonadotropin hormones LH and FSH, which can affect mood and emotions.
Although testosterone levels are highest in the morning, the Society of Endocrinology reports that levels do not drop completely at night. Some studies have found that there is a slight fluctuation in testosterone levels at night, which can awaken feelings of love and attraction in men. Research published in Science Direct also found that as the night progresses, the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin becomes active. Melatonin relaxes the body and reduces fatigue. During this time, stress is reduced and men feel more comfortable, which promotes romantic interaction and intimacy.
The time after midnight is often calm and peaceful. Noise reduces, work worries go away, and the environment becomes conducive to spending time with a partner. According to a report by the World Health Organization, when stress reduces, the levels of oxytocin (love hormone) also increase, which helps in strengthening relationships.
After a busy day, even if the body is tired, this fatigue can transform into relaxation and increase emotional connection. A report from the National Sleep Foundation suggests that the time right before bed is the most emotional for many people. Experts believe that it is not just a hormonal problem, but mental condition also plays an important role in it. Men feel more comfortable expressing their feelings openly at night. This is why many couples enjoy long conversations or romantic moments late at night.
