Hello! The same thing happened to me, I was terrified when it got dark ... It bothered me for months and I decided to talk to a specialist. It got worse over time. It turned out that this was the beginning of a depression that lasted more than two years. My advice is to talk to someone. It could be anything I really hope for. :)
And I'm very excited about this question? Just from a psychological point of view. I can say that not only me and the author are like that, but also 80% of my friends - all between 15 and 17 years old. I would be really interested to have someone explain ...
Hormones shake you hard!
Calm down, it will pass with age.
I will give you another point of view, I am a medical student and I have a bachelor's degree in biology.
So in the adaptation and biorhythm classes we learned about a science called space chronobiology. In short, it studies the effect of rhythmic changes in the environment on the body. The rhythm of sleep-wake is round-the-clock and endogenous, depending on the autonomic nervous system. It is regulated by the onset of daytime activity and shift and by the nocturnal period of rest. During the day the sympathetic nervous system prevails, which stimulates the active processes of metabolism, and at night or more precisely during the sleep period the other part of the autonomic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, takes over, with its reverse action. It also affects your feelings.
I used to go to bed early, but I had a period when I went to bed later - then I noticed that I was sadder and bad thoughts came to me late at night. Now I go to bed earlier again and I feel much better. Maybe you just need to sleep, at night, when you're sad? It wasn't really sadness for me, it was just hidden fatigue.
