I think that the genetic predisposition and less stressors are only part of the picture. It may also be physiological, having to do with the reuptake of neurotransmitters. Doesn't most of the reuptake happen when you are asleep? Then during the day, more of the neurotransmitters are made and so you have the most neurotransmitters available in the synapses at that time. This may be why if you stay up all night, you don't feel depressed (and in fact it can cause mania in some people). Some people routinely stay up at least one night a week as an antidepressant measure. I believe that Linkadge is doing that now.
