Heh, I get that, too. I'm doing okay and then I jerk because I dreamed someone goes to punch me and I jerk myself awake. Kind of annoying.
Are you sleep deprived?

Woah wish it took me that fast, it takes me 30 minutes to an hour. At the worst sometimes 2 hours. What's your secret? :

I lie on my back and enjoy the silence/darkness. Like to think about positive things, sometimes try to meditate. This is what I enjoy most. But sometimes I have too many thoughts, try to organize them, hoping that after I do I will meditate. But I never suceed to tame them and fall asleep. Sometimes I feel very sad, thinking about death, loneliness etc., until I cry.

I let my mind wander where it wants to without thinking and just enjoy the mental images that come into my mind.

If anything ineresting happened in the day I'll think of that, what it means, how it went.
If somebody said something positive about me i'll think about that warmly, or if somebody said something negative about me I'll feel depressed and think of that.
Most of the time it's just thinking along the lines of how horrible I have been health-wise and how much it is showing up in my day-to-day life. Don't feel good, no energy, and then I'll have a plan for tomorrow but i usually never fully commi.t

Do some imaging trips or walks somewhere you'd love to be and picture everything around you. What's the ground like, what's over to your left, to the right - etc, and each night go a different way and on each trip know in advance that you're going to arrive at a magical place - only don't decide what it'll be each time until you're part way there. In other words, be creative. Replace that negative thinking with positive CREATIVE thinking. Write books in your head. Be good to yourself. Hal

Thats funny,I remember that for a long time since I was younger I would think about playing age of empires,I didnt have a computer before so I played on my friends computer,even when I had a computer and later the game I would think about it,now I just try to think of nothing because its the easiest way to sleep.
I also think about things which will probably not happen,but that is normal for single people,before sleeping is the loneliest time.

I sometimes think about dying, or, more frequently, other people dying around me. It's the ultimate in catastrophic thinking from both of us.
Or, how to spell avocados, right? :
