Do you ever think compulsively while trying to sleep?

Does anyone else get the music thing when they're trying to sleep?


Oh yes, all the time. I love singing so it doesn't bother me very much. Sometimes I can't even figure out what music it is, though. Might be from a movie I watched eons ago and never seen again. Trying to remember what it is was kinda annoying.

Actually, bedtime is the only time my mind starts to calm down. It does all the chattering and worrying in the day, and it finally settles down at night time.

But, saying that, if I don't ''wind down'' before going to sleep, my mind can still chatter (well, in the day I think in words and if my mind is still chattering at night, I think in pictures). Every night I watch a film in bed, before I go to sleep, then after the film I switch the TV off and my mind shuts off too. But if I just got straight into bed and tried to go to sleep straight away, my mind still wouldn't be switched off.

Thankfully caffeine doesn't work on me. I could drink a whole bottle of coke in the evening, and still have a good night's sleep.
