Day and night
The last few weeks have got me to thinking about a number of things. Among them, one interesting topic, which came about is about day and night.
Yes, we all know that ‘day’ and ‘night’ are very different. But have you ever noticed that moods, actions etc and even feelings can all change as well?
It is as though in the day you have to be one person but come night time, everything seems so different. The darkness, in a sense is a shield, a shadow, it can even cause the feeling of fear. At the same time you feel you are able to get away with anything.
Take a simple thing like driving, for example. In the day, my parents do not hesitate for an instance, to let me take the car and go on a rendezvous but in the night, there are so many rules and regulations. Like you have to ask so and so to follow you home or ask so and so to come with you in the car etc etc etc. Or better yet, “DON’T GO!!!” would be their suggestion!!!
In the same way there are certain things you would do in the night that you would not dare do in the day. You would not dress in a certain way, or you won’t consume alcohol in the middle of the day… well, at least usually you would not 
Is it that humans have double standards or is it instinct to have a change of mood when day turns to nigh and night turns to day?
Do we have multiple personalities in built in us? Hmmm… I wonder?
Hmm i think that might have something to do with cicardian rhythms, I was reading about this in the Adoh! mag a couple of months ago, it’s mara interesting and suggests that the time of day does affect our behaviour more than we happen to notice. Guessing it’s something to do with hormonal cycles, but then my knowledge of physiology isn’t very flash.
