Life's A Chibi: Unsafe Place
Everyone minds work differently. Some can easily switch it off so they don't have to think at all. Others have trouble stopping the wheels from turning in their head. At night, when one is about to go to bed, they can easily shut off their brain and they go straight to sleep. Others have issues turning off their brain before they go to sleep, causing them to lose their night of sleep.
Troubles and hard times befall you today. One problem after another. Issues piling up. You do what you can to solve them, but some require a waiting period - you want it solved now instead of later, crossing it off your list of troubles. Throughout the day, you distract your mind. You do what you can to not think about the troubles you have. You do this until it is time for bed. But you don't want to go to bed - the place where you can relax and take it easy before passing out and ending the day. You now fear of lying down and letting your ongoing mind take over, where you have to lay there and helplessly have your mind remind you what issues you have left to resolve and the troubles you have to face the next day. You lose sleep and won't have the mental or physical endurance to deal with the problems you have to deal with.
You can try sleep remedies and techniques, such as white noise, tea, and medication. Some work more than others, but not for everyone. Turning off your mind for those who thinks like a race car is difficult. You have to try hard to get the car to stop completely. Talk to someone if you can't sleep. Make small conversations that don't involve your issues unless they are brought up. Distract your mind and have it think on something mundane before you go to sleep. The less you think about your problems and issues, the less harm you will cause your body and the less scared you will be about the only place in your house that you feel safe and secure to be at the end of the day.
"If there is a problem you can fix, why worry about it? If there is a problem you can't fix, what is the use worrying about it?" - a Buddhist Quote

right now I'm really digging the floris mod even if the game chugs like crazy while fighting the Khergit Khanate and choosing anything but a warrior start is typically going to leave you with tons of frustation and anger
but somehow Yalibe had a 14000 piece of fabric and I managed to get some killer armour with it so the game's easier (playing as Swadia atm, it's nice they did put some counter measures against calvary with pikemen)

I know this feeling well... I believe it's called 'Busy Mind,' when your brain refuses to shut down - it's effectively stuck in high-gear. And the more you fight to sleep, the worse it gets. I had a bout once that had me up for over three days :P
Oddly enough, I find listening to Kate Baker reading from Clarkesworld helps me... I set the volume to the point that I can ~just~ hear the words... and the effort it takes to listen clears my head. I'm usually out in short order.

all the feels here. I know more than a handful of people who understand what this is like.
I've been there myself, fortunately not as much anymore with the worries and doubts these days.
now i just have to wrestle with my brain and the nightmares it produces just to screw with me :P My subconscious mind can be an asshole at times :P but hey! art fuel is sometimes produced from these nightmares :P so it's not a total bust. ^^

My fucking life, tossing and turning and trying not to dwell on random stuff. The last few years though I've found that falling asleep with earbuds in, listening to 'ASMR', really helps quell all that. Not the shitty iphone earbuds btw, something in the $100 range with comfortable rubber suction tips.
Anyway, since I started working from home (drawing porn), my sleep hours became far less erratic and I've spent *much* less time lying in bed with my thoughts. You can see on this graph that as soon as I quite my job, my sleep hours evened out to a 26 hour long day, since I didn't have to force them to be 'normal'. https://www.dropbox.com/s/j9iixp8c2.....43.14.png?dl=0 The downside is that it makes planning things tricky, but it's a small price to pay to be well rested, to not toss and turn for hours a night.

At night, I find it's a lot easier to be afraid of irrational fears and worries. with an over active imagination and nothing to focus on, it sucks when your brain thinks of a theory and then decides to run down that path of that story.
Basically I get afraid really easy at night and it sucks

That's never a fun feeling nor a fun time to have; often are minds are distracted during the day by the busy nature of our lives. But at night, when it's just you and the quiet, it can feel like solitary confinement...just you and your thoughts.
Often times, I leave on my computer at night and put on a playlist from my Youtube account, just so I can focus on that, as oppose to my thoughts...

i have this in a weird way. i overthink so many things throughout the day, mistakes ive made years ago even. i get mad at myself for so many things which i still think about when i go to bed, but after some time in bed ill just pass out and sleep, to wake up to bad thoughts again
I often have anxiety attacks in bed when I'm trying to sleep. I don't know if it's caused by my actual fears or something else. It's not nice though. Sometimes I'm afraid of anxiety attacks and I don't go to bed when I should. It does help to talk to someone though. One thing I try is to sing a song in my head. Not necessarily with words, just the tune.
Yeah I'm gonna be "that" person, replying to really old art, but this makes me feel.
A couple years ago I had my slowest, scariest, mind-shattering traumatic thing go down. Sleep was never my friend but it hit me so hard with repressed AND new traumas I am afraid to even attempt to sleep in the dark.
😞 Much love for all your heartfelt sharing, attsy or othwrwise. And anyone else who wanders by.
