I hate that so often I will get everything right and actually get myself into bed at the right time, and I’ll be pretty tired, but my brain is like:
“Oh yeah? You want a good night of sleep to wake up refreshed and to take on a big day of responsibility and getting shit done tomorrow?
How about instead I fuck you over by having you loop over and over on stupid shit from throughout the that doesn’t really matter and just causes you anxiety? Would you like to spend the next 3 hours thinking about that?
Go ahead and try to do meditative exercises, or counting sheep, doesn’t matter, you won’t go to sleep because I decided tonight is one of those nights that I am just going to totally fuck up your day tomorrow for no reason other than that I can. Worse part is, there is no one to blame but yourself because I am you!”
Sometimes it be like that.

Same. Most nights!
Can relate. This is why I want to start my own nuclear weapons program tbh.
journal / write it all down helps me with this problem
. 5 mg of Klonopin at bedtime for 30 yrs of and on. It really makes a difference.

We are pushing our brains to the limits especially with the explosion of AI and new era of creativity
Will the new breed just get the chips which also just turn you off so you can sleep ?

What has helped me the most is reading. No matter what, just force your brain to think about something else rather your thoughts. It doesn't even have to be long
When I'm like this it usually means I'm not physically exhausted. Mentally I'm tired but my body did not do enough work during the day. When I get a workout routine mixed in I sleep like a baby.
Yeah likely I just need to exhaust my body more
My trick is to listen to a podcast while I fall asleep. It works... For me, at least.
The trick I use to settle my mind, I just think “Bitcoin” and everything melts away and I drop in warm sleep-filled slumber. I highly recommend trying it 👍🏻
Just take some niacin and you will fall asleep.
Relax.
You can tell yourself to fuck off too and peace out, there is not I anyways!
Not just me then ! 👌
Look into HeartMath!
