Have you ever been in a situation where you're supposed to relax, but your mind and body just want to keep working?

Last night i slept at around 11:30Pm thinking that I can wake up late today, My body seems to have adjusted to waking up at 6 AM, even if I sleep in the wee hours. When I woke up, I didn't get out of bed right away – I told myself I'd just lie down for a bit and reflect. But then I remembered my work responsibilities at the office, and that snapped me into action. I quickly got up and brewed some coffee.
While sipping my coffee, I started thinking about the discussions I had with my bosses about our work. So, I opened my laptop and began reviewing what I've been working on.
It's not like the work is overly demanding, but I find myself thinking about it even on a Saturday when I don't have work. Maybe I'm just excited because it's my first time being given a significant project.
I'm currently watching YouTube videos about a relevant case that might help with my project. I think diving deeper into the topic will give me more ideas and insights.
How about you? Have you ever been in a situation where you're supposed to relax, but your mind and body just want to keep working?

I like to think about work if I have a good night sleep so that I can think a good idea about my work.

Yes I have gone through it when I was working on a project day and night you keep on thinking what can be done or how it can be done the overthinking makes your mind not ot relax but even in sleep also your won't relax you start blathering untill the responsibility is done.

Every single night ….im afraid I just can’t switch off …. My mind is always working, much as I try to switch off . I get to sleep okay but when I wake , whatever time it is , I can’t get back to sleep as I start thinking of things …..
