Why is my house hottest during the night?

I live in Southern California where it’s pretty hot during the summer. During the day, the house is warm, particularly because we have some areas with large windows; it’s the greenhouse effect in our own home. Yet everyone is in agreement; the house is hottest at night. It gets humid and really hot at night, even hotter than during the day. Why is this? I’m curious.

Thanks =)
Not in bed….the actual house. As in when sitting at the dinner table, getting a drink in the kitchen, working at my Mac…etc

I am looking for info. on a house that was built out of all recycled materials. It was called a Greenhouse.?

There was a show, I think it was on Discovery Channel, that featured a home built entirely of recycled materials. We have some interest in homes that are composed of recycled or natural materials. If anyone has any info on these types of homes, we would love to hear from you!

Could you build a greenhouse on top of your house?

Idea is to build a greenhouse rather than a conventional roof. What about heating/cooling of house? Efficiency? Engineering challenges? Would glass be too heavy? Would it stand up to weather such as hail? Has this been done? I read glass on greenhouses can last 30+ years so would it last as long as a conventinal roof? Would it cost more than a conventional roof or How about compared to a house with a conventional roof and an additional greenhouse structure? Appreciate your thoughts.
I looked on internet/google and only found a few articles on greenhouses on top of buildings, none on a house. Anyone know of any sites?

How do I install drain tile around my house?

Have no-basement home with heat pipes in foundation. Water collecting in pipes. Furnace hot air passing thru makes house like a steaming greenhouse full of condensation. HELP!

i feel like im the only parent in my house. like i live in a group home with no staff. what can i do?

okay so im 18
i have an adopted sister who is also 18
a half brother with asburgers who is 16
a sister who is 10
and another brother who is 9.
my dad works at home writing books about how to determin the amount of money it will take to make certaint kinds of computer chips.
he works all day…
he doesnt really talk to us
and if you interupt him…
he gets really, really mad.
my mother has D.I.D. (disasosiative((sp?)) identity disorder ((a.k.a., multipul personality disorder)))
and shes really depressed all the time…
she doesnt have a job, she just collects scocial security.
while my siblings and i are off at school,
she sleeps on the couch all day.
she NEVER cleans, or cooks or anything.
she just complains about how she has no friends, and no life,
and how this isnt where she wanted to end up.
its depressing and annoying.
i inderstand she has a problem, and she needs help…
but she has five kids that shes responsible for.
my mom tried to kill herself a ton of times.
she was in and out of the hospital for two years
she was doing really well for a while
but lately her mental health has been slipping
allmost exactly a year ago,
we were shopping in best buy
my friend came up to us and told us about my old friend tori
and how her parents are crazy and how neither of them want her
and she has a court date tomorrow and no one will take her.
my mom imediately called her and told her she would come get her
and that she could live with us
…without even asking my dad first.
she was abused throughout her entire childhood
so she tries really hard not to be to hard on my little brother and sister
but because of this, they arent disaplined at all.
by the age of nine, my sister had allready threatened to kill herself
and was sent to the mental hospital
she poops in the shower, on the stairway, in her closet
…and even in her own pants
because she can.
shes scared of EVERYTHING.
greenhouse gasses, ticks, spiders, bleach, hand sanitizer, ect.
she wont go outside for too long because of bugs
if you even say the word ‘bleach’ she screams
if she sees someone use hand sanitizer, she cries
and she freaks out if someone tried to light a fire in the fireplace,
because she thinks it will cause greenhouse gasses.
my brother, whose nine, is the bigest brat ever.
he cried for hours because my dad took away his gameboy…
even though we were at the movies.
he flips out every morning and refuses to ever go to school
their both failing elementry school
because they dont do their homework.
the list of shit about them goes on and on
my sister threatened to kill her teacher once.
their f*cking scary.
they wont clean ANYTHING and they do whatever they want
my sister leaves popcorn everywhere
even in the bathroom.
no one takes care of them,
and no one cleans the house.
the laundry room is just a room with piles of clothes on the floor.
like no joke… you cant see the floor.
you open the door… and there is a pile of clothes at least a foot high
that you need to walk on to get inside.
we never have any food.
i honest to god live off cereal.
we have like 5 boxes of fruity pebbles right now..
and all it i is the crap on the bottom.
we never eat dinner together
we barely see each other
and we all hate each other.
no one helps clean at all
they just add to the mess.
its stressing me out to no end.
from the age of 15 till now,
i was hospitalized 14 times for suicidal thoughts and ODing
i abuse pills,
i steal booze and money from my parents
and they never notice
or just dont care
im finally back at public school
after they kicked me out because they found weed on my person
and after i went to a school for ‘emotionaly chalenged kids’ for a year
and honestly, im a bright girl
but this environment is so stressfull
i dont know what to do.
i lived in a group home for a year by choice to get away from it..
but all the kids there were ridiculous
and the staff had no control
i used to get teased because i was raped when i was ten.
it was messed up.
i dont know what to do
i hate it here.
i tell my parents all the time how much i hate it
but they dont care.
i cant deal with this place
i get suicidal all the time…
i used to cut myself
but i stoped after i had to get stiches…
again…
but lately… ive been really craving it
the only thing that gets me through the day
is pot, and booze, and k-pins… which im not prescibed
the only thing that gets me up in the morning is coffee and ritalin, which i am prescribed.
every morning i debate wether i even want to finish high school
i dont know where im going, what i want to do
i dont know anything,
the thought of waking up in the morning is so awful
i sometimes debate ODing just so i can be hospitalized
and get away from all this shit for a while
ive missed sooo much school…
like at least a day a week.
AT LEAST
if i do go im late
by like.. an hour,
i didnt go to my A block class on
