Why does our brain remaind us cringe memories at night?

Like, you're trying to sleep and your mind goes back to that day when you said the dumbest thing of you life. Why does it happen?

It's beneficial in terms of a learning standpoint to remember your past mistakes because you are less likely to make them again in the future.

As social species we have evolved especially to pay attention to social interactions as getting kicked out of a tribe could mean death, so seeing something you've done as cringey means you understand it was a social interaction mistake that you don't want to repeat so it means you are actually growing.

If you didn't have any cringey memories it just means you don't identify any as such, but what if others did, just imagine how many cringey moments you might have had but just don't see them as cringey because you have yet to grow even more.
