It's easy to get caught up in the delicious spookiness of working at night, poking around an empty building in search of ghostly encounters, but there are some very real-world reasons we study at nighttime -
Nighttime gives us many advantages -
1. Less traffic - visitors, cars, noise, distraction. An empty building is optimal.
2. Because it's nighttime and everyone is asleep at home (hopefully), sounds can be heard that during a noisy day are not noticed.
3. Darkness ups the ability to perceive as many forms are shadowy and movement in a very dim room is easily seen as what little light is there is blocked out.
4. Our own circadian rhythms are affected by things like dark and light, stress, social interactions, and temperature. The pineal gland in the brain "third eye" communicates with the optic nerve and so when lighting decreases, melatonin is released for sleep. Lowering of light brings a shift in the brain. This slowing down of daytime alertness is similar to the alpha state as you doze off - it makes us much more receptive to things we don't notice during daytime's focus.
I would include my own findings from dozens of studies and notes -
You up your chances of perceiving an encounter if there is a geomagnetic storm.
When there are solar flares, they create geomagnetic storms on the earth. These actually act on our physiology with higher incidence of heart attacks and suicides, but also brings us vivid dreams. The pineal gland is said to be affected by these occurrences and I believe this is a logical conclusion.
When our team would investigate, some nights they would report the place was super active. Well, the location is always active, but as my team had no psychics other than me, they weren't perceiving it. On nights of geomagnetic storms, they suddenly were being touched, tugged, seeing shadow figures and apparitions, and the like.

This has helped me so much when planning investigations to be certain that we have the best chance of the entire team perceiving and knowing where to be and being prepared to gather evidence.
Yup, there's nothing like wandering a dark empty building in the dark, but there are actually valid reasons for doing it!
