Why do sun brunt's only hurt at night time ?

I have one on my arms and face boy does it hurt.

Answers:
Yeah, they suck. I always seem to get sunburns when I'm not able to sleep naked.like on vacay with the family.

oooohhh OUCHIE! I don't know the scientific reasoning, but I think it's cuz you're moving around in the day time and when you go to bed and lay still, you feel it cuz you're not moving. I DUNNO BUT IT SUUUUUUUUX!!
Daytime for me!!
Because its cooler at night and your bodys trying to cool down too. Sunburn hurts all the time, you just notice it more at night.
Sun burns? Relief of the discomfort becomes important.


Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are useful, especially when started early.


For mild sunburn, cool compresses with equal parts of milk and water may suffice. You may also use cold compresses with Burow solution. You can buy this at a drugstore. Dissolve 1 packet in 1 pint of water. Soak gauze or a soft clean cloth in it. Gently wring out the cloth and apply to the sunburned area for 15-20 minutes. Change or refresh the cloth and solution every 2-3 hours.


Anyone raised in a beach community knows the secret of aloe-based lotions. There are many commercially available types. Ask the pharmacist at your local drugstore. Tearing apart your aloe plant in the yard and applying the cool jellylike substance inside the leaves is no longer necessary.


Cool (not ice cold) baths may help. Avoid bath salts, oils, and perfumes because these may produce sensitivity reactions. Avoid scrubbing the skin or shaving the skin. Use soft towels to gently dry yourself. Don’t rub. Use a light, fragrance-free skin moisturizer.


Avoid lotions that contain topical anesthetic medications because you can become sensitized and then allergic to that medicine.


Obviously, stay out of the sun while you are sunburned.
At night you're less active and you have more time to think about the sunburn. Plus, you lie down and agitate the burn.

It sucks! Here's something that helped me when most of my body was covered in almost a 3rd degree sunburn, look for something at your local Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart or whatever, it's called Ocean Potion and it has Lidocain in it for the pain. It's a blue gel with an orange top.
Mine usally hurts all the time when I get burnt, or at least til I use my grandmother secret sun burn relief med. Really its no secret but is does work great. it..are you ready for it..It's pet milk. yup I said pet milk and it works great! I just pour some in a bowl and dip a rag in it then lightly rub it over the sun burned area.You can feel it pulling the heat out and by the next day the sun burn is gone. Try it cause it works!
You've received a lot of good comments.
It's true you're less distracted @ night, so you notice your sunburn more.
You will also be lying down, your body making contact & putting pressure on your body parts, for extended periods.
