I have a terrible time falling asleep at night. It takes me at least 30 mins even though i'm usually exhausted by the time i'm ready for bed.

My mind stay too busy I think.

I think about stupid stuff. I think about when I was a kid, what I'm going to take for lunch the next day, whether or not I gave my son enough hugs to make him feel loved,etc.

What do you think about before falling asleep?

I try not to think. The worst times for me are generaly at night. It's usualy between 2 and 4am when I nod off. I occupy my mind so as not to think about my past and the wrongs that were done to me or the things I have seen that disturb my mind.

ok...this is so embarrassing but here goes...

when im trying to think about nothing, i'll pick someone good looking that I saw on tv or on the street or my husband if i'm not jaded by him that day and I'll make up little daydream type things in my head that are pleasant just to get my mind to calm down enough to fall asleep.

omg. blushing so much at this moment.

Thats just human nature. Everyone fantasises about people
they see in everyday life. That is certainly nothing to blush
about.

The ones I know mainly. I've been watching Planet Dinosaur on the BBC recently, I love those big ugly bastards.

i was in one of those rock and gem shops the other day and they had dinosaur eggs there...it was pretty interesting to see them. they're huge obviously...

Only 30min? I can stay wake thinking in idiotic things for 1h/2h. And it seems even more difficult to fall asleep when I'm exhausted...

Some nights, I have the feeling that I did not sleep at all.

My mind tends to be filled with regret before I go to sleep. I actually posted about that last night. I feel my most lonely at bed time for some reason. I regret all the decisions and mistakes I've made in the past dealing with certain people. Sorry if thats depressing.

My brain is just plain reluctant to turn off - has been since small times. I wind up thinking about anything and everything - the next day, stuff I read during the day, things I did wrong, things I did right (both that day and years ago). I was once told to think up stories, and I do occasionally try to turn my thoughts to one of my current creative projects. The hard part is keeping on one track long enough to get tired enough to actually fall asleep.

If I'm lucky I'll stumble onto something math-related (yes, this occasionally actually happens). That always puts me straight to sleep.

Sometimes I think about events that have happened, or make up events in my head. It's hard to power down my thoughts, good or bad.
