Partially because there is no movement in the joint. when moving the joints synovial fluid keeps them clean. without movement the cleansing action of the sinovial fluids are less active enabling uric acid crystals to settle in your joints. As well as this extremities tend to cool down during the night, creating a better environment for crystallization of uric acid. may people have their main meal not long before night time and this makes it the time when there is the best odds for increasing the amounts of purines entering the system which are in turn converted to uric acid and crystals.
