What do you think about before you fall asleep?

[Dreambiscuit 10,095]

I make an effort to avoid thinking about anything creative or productive; that always gets me interested and I end up being awake all night. The best thing I can do is think about peaceful images and settings, like being aboard a sailing ship like the ones in Treasure Planet, flying through deep space (the pretty kind of deep space, with nebulae, strange worlds and snowfall. Yes, that’s right, snowfall in space!) and that usually has me drifting off to sleep fairly quickly.

I usually don't have any trouble falling asleep. I fall asleep often in my recliner chair later at night while I'm watching something on Netflix or YouTube on my TV, so I'm kind just watching and taking it in, usually not really "thinking".

If it's past 1AM and feel that I'm falling asleep I go to bed and think about nothing and usually fall asleep in a couple minutes.

On the rare night that I am having trouble falling asleep I usually think about nothing and just count. I never remember even roughly where I stopped counting.

I think about all the things that have caused me worry or I just think about fun things I did throughout the day

Using your bed time to think about things that caused you to worry might not be so good. Try thinking only positive stuff when trying to sleep

Thinking what dream I will have..or nightmares.

[Splashee 28,566]

Just before I fall asleep, I somehow remember what I dreamed about the night before. That's why I know you cannot dream the same dream twice when trying to (at least for me)

Thinking about hoping I'll be able to get to sleep, I often have difficulty getting to sleep.

How to solve the next day, and backup plans if they fail. Solution to all problems: There is always a new day

Usually it depends on how or what you do to pull off good work in your job or every time at the end of the week you go grocery shopping.

I either worry about things or I spend the time thinking about how I can’t seem to fall asleep.

I just think about my plans for the following day. I also try thinking about comfortable things, like having my dreams come true. It's actually quite helpful.

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

Sometimes it's about what happened that day, other times it's random things. Those are the two main things that I think about before I sleep.

[Ocean Breeze 5,105]

Mostly just random things, sometimes it's my friends and how much they mean to me, or just whatever happened during that day.

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

Imaginative stuff, and songs. They always stick in my head even when trying to sleep.

[Interstellar Sketch 1,389]

Mostly just songs I listened to or me trying to think about what I'm going to dream about that night.

[Clawdeen 15,458]

How and when I'm going to die. If it will be painful. Truly great things to think about prior to sleep lol
