Coping with Loneliness at Night
Healthy ways to handle the loneliness and emptiness that tend to creep in once the day is over and the night gets quiet.
Details
Nighttime loneliness is that heavy, hollow feeling that settles in when the busyness of the day fades away and you are left alone with your thoughts. At night, the world gets quieter, your defenses get lower, and emotions tend to feel much bigger than they did a few hours ago. This is especially true if you live alone or have recently gone through a loss or breakup. Learning to cope with nighttime loneliness means understanding why it happens and building small, caring habits that help you feel more at ease before sleep.
