People Are Sharing The Thoughts They Have Right Before Falling Asleep
Going to bed and getting a full eight hours of sleep seems like a practically impossible task as I grow up. Most days, I am just turning and twisting in my bed with a hundred impossible thoughts in my head.
Anyway, u/cranberryjuice666 has got people on r/AskWomen sharing their thoughts before falling asleep and it makes me so happy because now I know I am not alone in the 'no sleep' club.
1.Fake scenarios
"I'm just doing fake scenarios." —u/Teanart
"I will self-insert myself into anything. Memories, fictional universes, music videos, just a completely made-up scenario, etc. The possibilities are endless." —u/BonnieMaccie
2.Redecorate houses
"I constantly redecorate my house or other people's houses!" —u/Takilove
3.Ex-partners
"My ex… things ended abruptly a few weeks ago… the relationship was f*cking awesome and I didn’t see the abrupt ending coming… I miss him terribly. He’s the last thing I think about before I fall asleep and the first thing I think about when I awaken. Heartbreak fucking sucks!" —u/OperaPooc
"I think about my husband. He died in December and I miss him so very much. It’s difficult to sleep without him beside me." —u/LadyLovesRoses
4.Regret
"Every embarrassing or cringe thing I've ever done." —u/WineAndDogs2020

"My exams and how unprepared I am." —u/ImLivingUltraLife
8.Astrophysics
"Astrophysics. I can't fall asleep without my astrophysics podcast." —u/Ordinary_Loquat
9.Audiobooks or pocasts
"I struggle with turning my brain off and tend to ruminate and get stuck in thought cycles when I go to bed. The best way I’ve found to combat this is to listen to an audiobook while I’m going to sleep. It helps me focus on the story instead of my thoughts and allows me to drift off more easily. Highly recommend it to anyone with intrusive thoughts!" —u/BATTLE_METAL
"I'm the same...I turn on podcasts that have hosts with a soothing voice." —u/littlehateball

"Are my cats okay?" —u/Cornettocone
13.Egyptology
"Egyptology lectures for me." —u/TikaPants
14.Rainbows and unicorns

15.Food
"How good dinner was and what I’m going to eat for breakfast." —u/CaliGumdrops
16.Partners
"My beautiful boyfriend." —u/folkloretiddies
17.Driving
