Thinking too much can be bad for you (2012)
Thinking keeps me awake. It&#x27;s getting worse as I get older.<p>Maybe it&#x27;s anxiety or something related, and sometimes it&#x27;s worried thoughts, but often it&#x27;s just running through scenarios. Video games, media plots, what I need to do next week. My brain is far more active after 10pm, and I am personally more motivated. I get a burst of energy but it&#x27;s not really the right time to clean the house so lying in bed has it all go to my head.<p>I&#x27;ve come to the conclusion I can&#x27;t sleep with an active train of thought going on. It sounds like meditation should help but I haven&#x27;t had much luck there. Maybe I just need to try more often until it becomes second nature.
