ELI5:Why at night when i'm trying to do things i feel so confident? Like i think about doing things but when time comes or when i wake up in the morning I don't want to do it anymore or i chicken out?

Thinking about doing something gives you much the same psychological benefit as actually doing it. Your brain rewards itself as if it has actually accomplished a goal.  
  
When the time comes to do the thing for real, you are faced with the work required and the task is suddenly less attractive.
