    Default Sleep

    I find myself unable to sleep at night. I feel exhausted, but my mind doesn't want to stop wondering long enough to fall asleep. Tonight is one of those nights, I am tired and I had been lying in bed for over an hour and this is where it got me.

    it sounds like you have something called racing thoughts. i have had that problem for years. what i have learned to do is shut them off. i do it thru meditation. as soon as they start, i start meditating. this helps keep your brain from going into the racing mode. concentrate on your breath. it does take practice but it works. in any givin night i have to bring my thoughts back to my breathing up to 5 or 6 times before i fall to sleep. you have to learn to shut your mind off and for those of us that have racing thoughts, we know how difficult this can be. good luck.

    I think I slept for maybe an hour last night. Pretty sure I'll sleep good tonight, Lol. I tried focusing on sleep and kept my mind on that but it didn't work, then I tried counting my breathing, didn't work. Nights like that drive me nuts. ><
