Does your delusion get worse at night?

Especially those having delusions of grandeur?

It happened to me and I think it will still be happening to me.
The main reason why my Grandiose delusion gets worse at night was (and is) because no strangers around me at home to “disapprove of” my delusional thinking. Auditory voice might have also added fuel to the fire by “confirming” my identity in delusion of grandeur.

Pretty much all mental health symptoms tend to get worse at night. It’s because we are alone with our minds.

I think you have a good point.

Even when I’m doing fairly well, it’s at night that my thoughts get more intense and start to get more extreme.
Like when me and my GF argue sometimes, I can get really freaked out at night and overthink my responses to where it’s just massive overkill.

But when you wake up the next morning, thoughts are better.

Exactly. At nights my delusions get worse. And my voices too.

Me as well. The nights can be brutal. But if I don’t sleep then the next day is nasty too.

I get more worried and paranoid at night

My voices and hallucinations are really bad at night. When I don’t get enough sleep, I go back to bed and take many naps. My motivation is like a zero.
