    is this normal, or common?

    My humidity keeps dropping to 54-55% overnight! And climbs to 58 during the day usually mid day at its highest. Then slowly goes down in the evening and night. What is this. My hatch is due tomorrow and this is not good. I doubt I could put anymore water sponges in or ill flood it.
