What’s a thought that only shows up when you’re trying to fall asleep?

Question

You know… when you’re finally comfortable, eyes closed, ready to drift off… and your brain randomly decides it’s the perfect time to overthink, replay memories, or bring up something completely unnecessary. It always happens when you’re trying to fall asleep.

Lol good question the moment I get comfortable and I start totally relaxing getting cozy

I have to pee lol
So I have to get up. Go, pee, get back in bed. Start all over again. Get cozy. The one really good thing is it once I get that coziness going, I can fall asleep within 2 minutes. Probably my bed is so comfortable

Or I might have a thought, see, like, probably tonight. Probably think about you asking this question and I'm turning off the overthinking. Switch , it's not even gonna go there to night
But sometimes I'll take one thought no, actually, I'm going to put on my headphones, go to YouTube and find some kind of frequency sound I did that Last Night. And it said that I would sleep hard, I didn't move all night, I didn't even get app to go pee. I woke up in the same position. I went to sleep in, I slept deep. I loved

I think about this embarrassing moment I had cycling downtown in rush hour traffic. I was the first cyclist at a busy intersection. There were other cyclists behind me. We got to go first before the cars turn left. When the light changed, I stood up to pedal , but I heard a grinding sound. Suddenly my chain froze and it cut my leg. I fell sideways but caught myself before I hit the ground. Everyone was watching as I limped to the sidewalk to fix my bike. I was trying so hard not to cry from the pain and the embarrassment. It was such an awkward moment because I was in people's way.

Usually its about work. I know that's not really healthy but I can't help it. Work seems to consume my mind. And then occasionally it's about old memories of me and him which also isn't very healthy. I have a problem lol

It’s usually the random self reflection I avoid during the day.

When everything gets quiet, my brain suddenly wants to replay old conversations, second guess decisions, or imagine future scenarios that probably won’t happen.

It’s like my mind saves all the unresolved thoughts for bedtime.

Night has a way of turning small things into big ones.

My brain right before I fall asleep is like hey you know what would be fun... if we micro analyze all of the problems and all of the things you worry about like bills. And create back up plans for all these things.

I usually think about what I can do in the morning, so I won't have to do it when I get home. Unload/load the dishwasher, maybe vacuum, throw some laundry in, get things organized for dinner...

That I wish I had my good health back.

I think about how much I used to cook and bake food and I want to start doing that again.
