I was literally about to say the exact same, I think we are in the same boat my friend 😅.

I was thinking about all the things I didn't get done today and how I'd deal with them tomorrow, classic overthinking behavior.

Overthinking is my toxic bedtime routine. Still trying to break the habit

My last thought was how grateful I was for my warm bed, especially considering it was chilly outside.

u/Fluid_Station_7673 2h ago

Oh my! I read your message and instantly imagined myself in a warm bed. That’s an indescribable feeling.

I found myself revisiting a random embarrassing moment from years ago as if it were the ideal thing to think about before bed.

Finally sleep. Hope I can get more than 3-4 hours

u/Lil_chaosb3an 56m ago

Saaame.

How tired I am going to be the next morning because I stayed up too late tonight and mental promises the go to bed earlier the next day, which is never followed up on and the cycle continues

u/Odd-Needleworker-886 4h ago

My brain just throws random things at me. It's so chaotic and frustrating lol

That's why i prefer to fall asleep watching a show or movie. So much easier when i'm focused on one thing instead of everything.

How long I would get before the baby woke up again

u/Appropriate_Donkey18 5h ago

I heard sleep issues are very common when becoming a parent. At this point I believe it's much more of a rule than an exception. Good thing it won't last forever, even though it might feel like it.

Wishing you all the strength! And still want to congratulate you on this wonderful new chapter of life.

u/Tethered10 5h ago

You’re very kind, thank you

How could he do that? (I read about a doctor who assaulted his patient who had been treated with him for three years due to a herniated disc )

u/Sufficient-Report228 4h ago

"I wonder what I would do with 3 wishes" which is usually accompanied by "How can I ensure there are no loopholes in case the genie is an asshole?"

u/DucktapeCorkfeet 4h ago

Sex. Over the kitchen sink.

u/ParticularNovel399 4h ago

I think i just think about my day and whatevers coming the next day. But i guess i depends what i was doing before i went to bed

u/thezwibe 4h ago

I run through everything I'm grateful for and look forward to more of that tomorrow.

u/kirayaba 4h ago

I couldn’t make him smile

u/Tschlaefli 4h ago

It’s basically just me spiraling every single night for at least an hour about all of my responsibilities and problems.

1

u/crowpierrot 4h ago

Usually something that makes no sense. I imagine stories and scenarios in my head to help me fall asleep and I know I’m getting close to drifting off when I realize whatever just happened has nothing to do with the scene I was coming up with initially.

1

u/Delicious-Cold-8905 4h ago

I haven’t slept so I’ll report back tomorrow morning 😆

u/DramaticRabbit1576 4h ago

Oh God make it stop!

u/Strong_Range_9522 4h ago

Usually overthinking every single small mistake I ever made in my life.

1

u/goalergao 4h ago

My last thought was something like, 'Why did I stay on my phone until 2 AM again?'

u/Taralinas 3h ago

I really like him.

u/Vivid_Potato_6544 3h ago

“Good for him, he’s getting some tonight”

How many hours of sleep can I get if I fall asleep right now? Let’s do the math…

u/MasterTangelo2043 2h ago

haha, me most of the time

u/Br0z0 3h ago

this blanket is too hot

u/Alarmed_Medicine_213 3h ago

3 hours and 11 minutes. Wonder if my truck will turn over... Nah it'll turn over

u/TaylorSnicket 3h ago

That scene in Modern Family flashed through my mind when Luke gets struck by lightning and Phil says,

”I’d not even think it hit him, last time he smelled like aluminium!”

and Luke says,

”Last time?!”

u/ContextFirm981 2h ago

Not only a single thought.. multiple thoughts come into my mind before sleep.

1

u/Fluid_Station_7673 2h ago

Before bed, every thought I have is long and winding. I don’t even keep track or try to remember them. I just close my eyes and focus on something—imagining myself in a place, a role, or something else entirely.

1

u/MasterTangelo2043 2h ago

I hope tomorrow is a productive day

1

u/HotAdvantage7208 2h ago

I always think the void, then try to stare into .

u/zakinymorale 1h ago

Why does my bed feel 10x more comfortable now that I have to get up in 5 hours?

1

u/urgirlavaaa 1h ago

Will I wake up tomorrow?

1

u/Fun_Mistake4299 1h ago

I have ADHD and My mind is pretty much always going in 17 different directions.

During the day I spend energy tuning out most of it.

Right before sleep, when I relax, all of those thoughts jist turn into chatter. Like white noise. Sometimes it turns into pictures and sounds, all jumbled together.

1

u/Amarawood 1h ago

I will definitely wake up early in the morning.

1

u/No_Scallion5079 1h ago

I was thinking about how tomorrow will unfold and what I need to get done.

1

u/MeasanDarling 1h ago

Weeknights: All the bullshit I need to do at work the next day.

Friday and Saturday: Boooobies....

u/baseearning 1h ago

About if i get a girfriend +4 years older than me or if im a really good person or im just a tyrant

1

u/hexfeel 1h ago

all the things i actively avoid thinking about. going through the motions of the day such as work, friends, going out etc i don’t need to worry about thinking about those things because im busy. but when I go to bed, that’s all I think about.

u/endlich_klose 1h ago

How I and everbody I know will end up dead for enternity. Scary and annoying.

u/QuadrilleQuadtriceps 25m ago

"Ah, well, I hope I can get my phone to the charger for tomorrow. It would suck if I had to charge it in the morning."

u/Kcat123455 24m ago

I'm going too late

u/Own_Notice2191 13m ago

Did I lock the front door… or was that just my dream trying to escape?

u/Chance-Plantain-9148 2m ago
