I usually plan my next day before sleeping. I have an obsessive compulsive disorder and one of my obsessions are planning. I would plan out my day, from the very step that I would make to the very last thing I need to do. And most of the time I was not able to keep up with my plans because one of compulsiveness is cleaning and maintaining the house in order.

hehe i gave up totally planning a day, becuase it always failed, something would go wrong within that plan lol oh its quite amusing what people do actually think before sleep and seems we all do it.. it might be silly stuff or constructive but before sleep. we have our most thoughts thanks for response and you have good weekend

Haha. You too have a great weekend. Me, even if I want to I can't stop planning. It is an obsession for me. Before I never knew I was OC I always got so frustrated and disappointed when things I planned did not go well. But now since I already know where I am coming from, I just enjoy the planning part, keeps me occupied until I dozed off.

Sometimes I think too much.....I plan out the next day or two...and sometimes when I am involved in writing on one of my books I don't sleep at all for deciding what should happen next. Many times I get ideas of my crafts too right before I do fall asleep...and sometimes I write poetry. I keep a pen and paper handy so I don't lose the ideas....

Well my friend, I always hate the night and hate to go to sleep, because my mind will start to thinking of all the things I have to do in the next day and sometimes I can't sleep till the morning. Thanks for the discussion and have a nice day.

I also read for a while to tire myself. Alongwith that I sometimes also watch television to tire myself. This makes me sleep when I am not so tired. You can also go for a walk to tire yourself and get a better sleep. When you get so tired then you definately want to sleep bad time.

I think of the things to do the next morning before sleeping. I have a hard time sleeping at night my friend that's why I have so much time to think. This finds me to relax some times, I even think of my future and goals to do. Thanks for the post mandykaren!

you know, i am the same.. i sometimes find it difficult to sleep at first then i sleep deeply hehe.. anyway.. i think ahead, things to do, anything that is contructive to use that time to advantage and helps me to sleep as we need to conk out the brain thank you for sharing and hope you have good weekend

I usually think about the day's events. About things that happened, unfortunate events that took place, good moments etc. Simple to say, I would just reflect on the day's events till I am sleepy.

I like to think about my day, my boyfriend, and what I am anticipating for the future. Also I also listen to the odd thoughts that come up in your head when you are very tired, sometimes it is really funny, because your mind just thinks up so many weird jumbles and combinations of words unconsciously without you controlling them. I might be laying there and a sentence or a few words come to my head for example, "ripe watermelon, canon, ship with legs," without my control haha. The tired mind kind of takes over right before you sleep and you think odd things, I hope you know what I mean haha. Happy mylotting!
