My mind gets too loud by the night . . .

I have the same experience before. I told myself to sleep but then after a while I would realize I am again thinking of saying and my mind is saying some words which I really hate. I didn't know how it stopped. Thankfully I wasn't the same as I am before. I just thought maybe that is due to anxiety. Even if we tell ourselves that we are fine and happy, our subconscious is still telling us there is something that we want. Maybe you need to do something that you really want so you would feel a bit of accomplishment in life.

Sometimes I also find no sleep at night time because of unwanted thoughts. I try to get rid of it but I can't do it. I find to get rid from them by chanting mantras so that i could feel relief and it could help me to have a good sleep. Does chanting mantras help you to get rid from it ?

I have that kind of experience too. I have so many thoughts that crawling in my brain every night. I usually do online jobs during the night and those online jobs on the forums I joined it are all crawling in my mind. Even the novels that I am doing, it seems my brain keeps on giving me some ideas on my next stories. I even remember some of my problems in the past and even at present that is why it is hard to find peace whenever I sleep at night. Maybe this is because of being busy in posting on forums and I even think of my problems whenever I work online.

I have heard that light reading before bed can help. The story will distract you as long as you keep reading until you fall asleep. The key is to find books that are not scary or sad or anything like that. Things with humor or romance that way your mind will be on the story and not able to wander and distract you and cause you to freak out.

I know it is very annoying and the worst part is that you can do nothing about it. I have been in a conversation with my self all my life, and now i have gotten used it.

I have this happen to me frequently as well. It's sometimes hard to control the random thoughts that enter your mind but I've been trying to force myself to think about happy times in my life or good things that have happened to me. I think it's a good way to drive the bad memories out of your thoughts and adopt a more positive outlook. I think that dwelling on the bad memories will lower one's mood and self confidence in everyday life, so I'm trying to only let good thoughts occupy my mind in one form or another. I will even start fantasizing about good things that I WANT to happen in my life. I think that is actually a good step toward making them come true. It must be helping a little because once I start thinking about all good things that I want to happen, I usually drift off to sleep.

I know that this discussion is already 2 days. But I like it that is why I would like to make comment about it. I too experience this kind of thing. I don't know but when I lay in my bed, my mind starts to roll around and think of different topics which seems like my mind is talking to itself. This makes me not to sleep until I get to sleep.

Those bad memories are a sign of unsettled issues you have. I revisit the past often and think about what I would have done differently. Truth is I can't really change the past, but I can make better choices in the present and future. When these thoughts pop up in my head sometimes at night or during the day. I counter the negative because I have so much to look forward too! By the way there is nothing wrong with talking to yourself. My mind is constantly grappling with ideas. Sometimes in public when alone you may find me smiling. If minds could speak!

when there is something left undone, something missing in your life that is when such thoughts run into your mind. I am going through the same feeling everyday because I feel my life is incomplete. So when I get ready for bed and am about to sleep, my eyes are shut and I am almost going to drown into darkness when my mind starts working.. then all kinds of thoughts and memories are pulled out of the mind's closet. there are so many things which I dont think so in the day I would even think about, that in night they are poured into my mind!! Its very annoying because I cant fall asleep.. I want my questions to be answered, I want my mystery to be solved.. So ya.. I dont have any advice for you.. because we are on the same boat my friend!!

All thoughts, memories, and experience will pop up when you try to get rest or relaxing after a really busy day, its just like a glimpses of thoughts that we had. But when you try to get a long rest, the glimpses of thoughts will become less disturbing.
