Sleeping problems....Mind olympics going on?!
Question:
Sleeping problems....Mind olympics going on?
Not sure if this is common. However, sometimes when I'm going to sleep I often times have these very bizare thoughts going through my mind. It's like I feel as if I'm trying to fall asleep but I have this almost dream like though pattern running around in my head. I'm some what consious of what is going on, yet I have no way of explaining why my mind is thinking this. Very odd. Anyway, it sometimes prevents me from going to sleep, or from falling back to sleep if I wake up in the night.
Is this common? Or do you know of anything I can do, or think of that would relax this "chatter" in my head and make me block it out, etc. ?
Thanks

yeah, it's even more than just daily task's sometimes though. It's like bizzare thoughts I'm almost playing out in my head. Like i'm dream talking/thinking . Make sence?
Answers:
I suffer from the same problem... It's a part of the type of insomnia I suffer from...
Stupid thoughts, of "what to make for dinner tomorrow' what do I have to do at work tomorrow.. etc... lame stuff that I really don't need to be thinking about.
I ended up getting a tv in our room... I keep it on low, and watch tv til I fall asleep.. that way if I wake up again, it's still on, and I just continue watching til I fall back asleep... I focus on whats on the tv instead of letting my mind race (Even if I really dont care whats on tv)
Hope this helps
