My depression often gets worse during the night too. Like the above posters said, it helps to put things in place to help comfort and/or distract you during the times that your depression is especially bad. Sometimes, though, you just have to take a deep breath and let yourself feel how you're feeling. It's painful, but those bad feelings are clamoring for your attention. Sometimes you have to let yourself sink into the depression, and try not to get overwhelmed by it. It's can be a hard thing to do, but it's important. If you deny your feelings, they tend to bottle up. You can even try doing something like journaling or drawing to get your emotions out.

Sometimes you need a distraction, and sometimes you just need to feel.
