Is There a Nutrient Deficiency Here, Or is it Normal?

OK, yeah. Total noob working with a lot of these species of peppers. But every night virtually all my pepper plants, potted and dirt-borne, look to "fall asleep" Then they all perk right back up at first light and go about their day.
 
I didn't read about this in the brochure. There's no leaf drop, yellowing, anything to indicate stress. This is normal? Don't fix what ain't broke?
 
Examples:

ALL my plants are doing this, from Aji Amarillo to Trinidad Moruga Scorpions. Then they lift their little heads in the mornings and go on about their day....
 
Nitrogen? Viagra? Nothing, it'll be all good in the morning?
 
Here's where you guys chime in, and thanks.
 
All is good. Mine do the same thing. Plants get tired too. When I was growing indoors, I knew when the lights were about to go off, because they would start falling asleep. I got up early and had to see if they started purking up before the lights came on, and sure enough they were awake.

BTW, they look nice and healthy.
 
viagra !      :rofl:

Well kewl, then! My instincts told me that as healthy as they look during the day, they simply worked so hard at looking good (and you look MAH-VELOUS!) that they were exhausted at the end of the day and performed the pepper plant equivalent of falling onto the couch and passing out...
 
I will continue to allow it...
