Mine races all day, and then takes a break at bedtime! I fall asleep right away at around 10:30, yesterday at 9:30! BUT.. then somehow in my dreams my mind thinks about everything I am worried about and wakes me up so that I can’t go back to sleep! So I am usually up way before the alarm. I’d rather have it this way though, than not being able to go to sleep. That happened before and I took sleeping pills for a week at bedtime to get me back on schedule. I couldn’t take not falling asleep at night!

yes there are times i stay up for hours and can not sleep due to thinking about every thing. i usually drink a cup of tea and it helps•

Yes I have an over active mind, getting no sleep ruins the next day for me, I just can’t shut down easy.. especially when lying in the dark. I have some tricks I’ve learnt to deal with this over the years but I still have trouble.

- Turn off the tv & net an hr or so before hitting the sheets.
- Make sure your actually tired, re-arrange your sleep pattern – Wake up early, go to bed early around the same time each day.
-When your laying in bed clear your mind & take a few breaths, tell your mind that you can think of anything other than responsability’s. You will start to day-dream eventually turning into an actual dream : )

every single night. unless i’m too exhausted from yahooing.

Yes! I have to think about things that don’t relate to my life like tv shows or movies because it’s the only way I can go to sleep. If I don’t I’m awake thinking of all kinds of stuff.

I totally feel you. I can be dead a-s tired sitting on the couch but the second turn out the lights and lay down to sleep. BAM! Insomnia hits. Drives me flipping batty.

Every night. It’s so irritating too! Mostly my mind races with the flashbacks of the molestation I suffered as a child (I just started counseling to deal with it and it’s causing a lot of feelings to become un-rooted).

But yes thoughts of “Are the kids alright?….. Did I let the dog out?……Did I pack the diaper bag before I went to bed so I don’t run out of diapers while running errands tomorrow? …… Did I remember to set the timer on the coffee pot???” It’s a never ending cycle! LOL. You aren’t the only one.

Meditating could be a good idea. Or you could try Ambien Actually I am starting to do Yoga before bed and it’s helping me calm my mind. You might try that.

*ETA*
Jen, if having a glass of wine or a beer before bed makes you a bad parent, I’m just as bad as you are! I enjoy a glass of wine every so often when I need to de-stress.

Yes. It’s the worst. Unless I have a beer or a glass of wine or something. (ooooh does that make me a bad parent??!)

My mind is always turned on even when my body is exhausted. And I always have the feeling I’m forgetting something. Every time I’m trying to fall asleep without fail I feel like I forgot to do something.

Thanks!

It used to! I used to stay awake for hours when we were not financially stable. I still wake up from time to time thinking about the boys when they go to highschool and bullies but that’s about it.

oh don;t get me started!! : )
i have a problem keeping everything in check in my head. i don;t think you need medication though. i don’t think they make any for organization . : )
I find that righting everything you need doing down on paper helps me. It seems to get it all clarified in my head, almost like i’m explaining to someone what needs doing. try doing that before you go to sleep at night .
bets of luck x

No its more along the lines some child will start crying or my husband will want to ask me a question. I’m thinking, “Couldn’t you have asked me when I was up?” I swear it’s like my husband, kids and cat (yes him too) all conspire against me so I won’t rest or actually eat.

James signed a two or three year, Supercross only contract with L&M racing. Although Larry Brooks (L&M Yamaha team manager) said he would let James race outdoors if he wanted to, there are a number of reasons he is not racing the entire series: 1. James is still healing from his wrist injury from the Pheonix Supercross. 2. James has a TV show on Fuel TV that filmed his break off to “see what the rest of the world is like” in the summer of 2009 and is busy filming a second season. 3. James is tired of racing (which he actually said in his show “Bubbas World” at one point). Or, 4. James is just in it for the money now ( which I hope isn’t true because I am a huge bubba fan haha) and SX is where the money is at. 5. Larry Brooks changed his mind and doesn’t want Bubba to race outdoors and get injured before the 2011 Supercross season.

I am not a parent, but my mind races just the same. I work all day, and I never seem to get enough done.
