Word of the Week - Nyctophilia

A love of the night hours! Pleasure or peace derived from being in the darkness.

Are you a person that likes to be out at night, or one that thrives in the hours of darkness? As a younger person, I was working a lot of nighttime hours in bars, and clubs, or doing bodyguard work. I found that I was most at peace or empowered when the sun went down and living after midnight was euphoric at times. I really felt alive and energized. As I aged and my lifestyle changed, I found the daytime to be my preference. In fact, I almost feel lost when out during the nighttime now. However, if I am out and feel engaged or concerned about the night at all, my innate powers of the connection with the darkness seem to go on autopilot. I become hypervigilant and almost electric it seems. I feel most cognitive in the daytime hours, and most intuitive in the nighttime hours. Where do you prefer? Have you ever asked yourself why, or how?
