I can't sleep at night because my brain is constantly working, what is wrong with me?

[Anonymous]

I didn't know where else to ask this. Silly question I know but I can't turn off my brain, I am constantly thinking about stuff, overthinking, I read a lot, I watch documentaries and educate myself on my own all the time. Within a day I have learned almost everything about the underground in London, just for example.. I have to understand everything there is. I know too much about everything and everyone (to be honest.) I barley sleep at night because my brain is constantly working. When I'm about to go to sleep I will start thinking about an old incident in history and try to figure out exactly why it happened, how and start making up my own theories. Do you get my point? WHAT is wrong with me? This is starting to become a problem because I can't relax and I can't sleep.

You probably have a very high IQ.
Possible suffering from Insomnia my brother has the same problem.
You should consider taking the online mbti test and see what kind of personality trait you have. It will allow you to have an insight as to why you are this way.
There is also a theory that most of the creative parts of your mind are open at night.
I come off with boss ass poetry, theories and deep thinking late at night. Next morning I wake up like, "wtf happened?"
Try drinking lavender tea or imagining a calm scenery with your eyes closed. Try to calm your mind and focus on breathing.

I think you are the female version of me in that sense, I'm the exact same way. You are analytical, it's a good thing. It's just hard to quiet down.

You have to separate yourself from information, sit outside for a bit and relax. Or do something that will relax you. Chess works for me.

Chess sounds like a great idea. I shall try that.

Sounds good, hit me up if you want to play online sometime.

Same with me, like i am always thinking about why something is, dont know if this is disassociation, to give you some superiority complex, this is sorta what anthropology and social sciences goes into ;) at least when its relating to people

Start exercising in the morning.
