I really dont know why its worse for me at night... all bad news seems worse when heard at night dont you agree? Or maybe thats just me aha
. If i feel ill in the day I am usually distracted enough to forget about it... unless I wake up feeling ill and then feel ill all day, as that makes me think that I have a virus and then will be anxious and panicky all day and wont eat anything! Its strange how our minds process this information in different ways.
Waking up at night feeling ill also makes me feel like I have a virus, and waking up feelng ill in the middle of the night happens quite a lot to me (usually because im wrapped up in bed and get too hot - im really sensetive to heat and it makes me feel ill and fainty instantly)... so even though i know ive woken up because I am hot, i think its because I have a virus and thats when the fan comes on, the freezing cold flannel comes out and I start pacing around my bedroom panicking.
But like I said, I do try and think rationally, but it all depends on my mindframe at the time, and how light/dark it is outside!
