ELI5: Why is it that just before I sleep I think deeply about things but during the next day my level of thought decreases?

The darkness allows your mind to focus inward - your eyes arent processing a bunch of different sights and colors, your ears are likely processing less information because you are in a quiet room - you're likely in a familiar, comfortable setting that isn't a shock to your sense of smell - you're also lying in a familiar position your body has come to recognize as the place where you sleep. So all in all, your brain is processing less information than it has to when you are going about your daily routine in daylight. Without such distractions, you'll find yourself deeply involved in self reflection and thought.
