What do you think about before you fall asleep?

[Paianis 488]

I don't normally think about that much, but sometimes I'll contemplate the whole house burning down while I am asleep, along with all my prized possessions, and not waking up early enough to be able to escape.

 

You know what's even worse? I'll often come up with my best composition ideas late at night, and because I have to get to sleep there won't be time for me to jot it down. So I'll end up lying there worrying that I will have forgotten it by the following morning.

 

The more I have to think about, the longer it will take for me to get to sleep. My worst night ever was probably the one on the 1st August last year, when I (sort-of) lost my old computer as it was.

I am not going to lie, i don't think about how people are staving in Africa, or how corrupt our government is. Most of the time, music plays in my head, and i think about dumb stuff like ponies, and jokes. In fact, that is were allot of my great idea's come from, right before i fall asleep or from my dreams, sometimes it stops me from sleeping, and i have to bust out my phone and take a note before i can fall asleep.

I always think about what tomorrow will be or my future.

 

It's a great way for your mind to focus deep within and concentrate on the inner thoughts.

[Scootalove 10,684]

I always think about what happens the next day, and for some odd coincidence it actually happens. It usually happens a lot, really.

[Jokuc 8,172]

.........hehehehehehehehe

 

 

Um... All different sort of things. Things that has happened during the day or things I'm going to do the next day.

 

Alrigt, alright maybe some dirty stuff too. :3

Everything and anything, my mind wanders a lot.

 

A main theme that I notice though, is I think of my depression and hopelessness for the future and how useless I am. It is almost like a daily reminder. Once I wake up and before I go to sleep, I always remember that. Pretty much fuels my self hatred. It isn't good, but I struggle with those thoughts a lot, almost constantly. Surprisingly I have no difficulty sleeping most of the time regardless, even if the next day seems pointless.

i don't think about how people are staving in Africa, 

 

You monster. Stavation is a worldwide problem. 

 

Anyways, I usually wonder about how many things in this universe work. Like stars n' stuff....

[Hawk Moth 390]

I think about my stories and fictional worlds. I've been doing that for years, and it's not only entertaining, but it helps me get to sleep.

[DubWolf 16,621]

Unless something pretty major happened to me that day and I'm not on a vacation, I usually think about that special somepony that I might meet some day, and then think if the same pony..er person is thinking the same about me. After that I just pretty much think of just about anything, or ideas to problems that we have.

I think of many things before I sleep. From simple minded things to really bloody complex things that make me fall asleep as I think about said complex thing. But! There are times where I go and tell myself to say a word when I wake up that I have thought of before I fall asleep. Then I totally forget to say that word untill afternoon where I suddenly realize that I should of said, said word after I woke up. And at those times I am thinking of something deep.

[Jammo 986]

I think about an obese woman slowly consuming the planet Earth in her fat rolls while reciting verses from the Bible.

What else do I have to think about in my creepy shack all night? The corpse lying next to me doesn't have anything constructive to say.

I think I have emotional problems. My father man..

I think about romance stuff. Examples being shippings and romantic fanfics. It puts my mind at ease and helps me relax. I find I sleep better thinking about that than anything else.

Sometimes I think exactly this before I go to bed....makes me sad...I sometimes cry myself to sleep...  -_-

 

Though, I sleep with Derpy(my plush Derpy). and sometimes it helps when i"m sleeping with her....I snuggle her and I usually fall asleep shortly after,thinking of what life in Equestria would be like...wondering if it'd be better to live there than here.(I may be a little obsessive about MLP)

OTP'S! 

I mean...uh...yeah, OTP'S. I enjoy shipping from things like Ponies, Anime, or Video Games. It's fun to me..don't judge me.

 

So...much....shipping.

Trixiiieeeeee

No but seriously, I can never fall asleep mid-thought. I have to be either watching something, listening to something, or focusing on trying to fall asleep. I have terrible attention span problems, so if I lay there and let my mind wander, a random train of thought on a random subject will pop up and I'll involuntarily keep myself awake by following it.

...Trixie.

I'll reply in this thread, just to show how dangerous it is:

 

It even happened twice in a row.

 

Also, @WWolf, are you still dreaming?

New fanfiction ideas. 

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

I think about whatever I was just working on

[Vefka 1,499]

Are we alone in this universe? Our life is meaningless, we work to survive, we survive to work, this life is just a cycle...

You got the idea

How long it’s gonna take to fall asleep. 

[Splashee 28,537]

If I think about something before I sleep, I don't fall asleep. So to tell the truth, I am not really thinking the moment before I fall asleep.

[Landi 597]

Well sometimes I think about what has happened throughout the day or ponder what will happen the next day. But mostly I think about my characters and stories. I have whole expanded universes of characters and stories in my head. Some of which make it out of my head and onto google docs. It depends on what I'm super into at the moment, but for the most part I think of my pony characters and stories. I have many pony OCs, and right before I sleep is a great time for me to expand upon their character and throw them in situations. So long story short, I think about ponies before I sleep .

It really depends on what had happened that day. Usually its about a love interest.

Spoiler

When I think about love interests, I have a hard time sleeping, and want to do other things instead.
