you know, when you roll over and it's just you and your thoughts before you drift off to sleep, what do you think about?

Mine are pretty random but it seems like a lot of the time I will try to think of as many different individual things as I can at the exact same moment.

Other times it's how much shit I have to do the next day

I guess this thread is for people that don't watch tv to go to sleep.

3/24/2010 10:59:46 PM

I think about the squiggly lines on the backs of my eyelids.

3/24/2010 11:00:33 PM

i watch tv to go to sleep but i still think haha

usually i just have it on with the volume off and i face the wall. so it is more like a night light (gay).

i think about shit i should be doing/have done that i haven't done or am not doing. and how sleep is a waste of time but i love sleeeep.

3/24/2010 11:00:55 PM

I imagine that I'm a pirate on the open seas. Rapin' womens and finding buried treasures and such.

3/24/2010 11:01:25 PM

I like making scenes out of the shapes I see when I close my eyes

3/24/2010 11:01:28 PM

girls

3/24/2010 11:03:45 PM

hiking

and snuggling

3/24/2010 11:04:51 PM

reflect on previous day
contemplate my next day

3/24/2010 11:05:31 PM

i also think about my mom a lot

i hate that my mind like just doesn't stop working so when i'm done worrying instead of being "blank" i just think about my mom

then i cry

then i get up and eat cheerios and pee

then i can usually fall asleep after that. it happens like every night.

3/24/2010 11:05:47 PM

The last thing I do before I roll over is look at the clock and count the amount of sleep I will get if I fall asleep in the next 30 mins.

Then I will spend like the next 5 mins thinking I'm pretty sure it's been 30 mins now I'm probably never gonna go to sleep.

So then I roll back over and look at the clock and I'm like oh dang...well 30 mins starting now...

Then that is when I start thinking about random ass shit.

If I still haven't fallen asleep I'm like "hmm ambien?"
If I answer yes, then I end up staying awake until 3 in the morning wandering the beach...
If I answer no, I usually end up falling asleep 10 mins later.


^Sorry to hear that


But yeah I know what it's like to have a brain that just won't stfu sometimes. I will often get a thought stuck in my head just like a song stuck in my head. I hate those days when it's a bad thought that gets stuck in my head because by the end of the day I end up hating who I am.

I also look for holes in my eyelids...

3/24/2010 11:07:21 PM

i like to sleep facing the wall so that i can touch it cause it is cool. i like being cool and like in a small space when trying to sleep.

3/24/2010 11:08:05 PM

i think about what I'm gonna do when I wake up

and how I can fight the zombies when they attack

I hope my cardio is up to snuff

but I mentally prepare to bust they ass

3/24/2010 11:08:30 PM

Wolfpack football, beach volleyball season coming up, future jobs in my field, guy stuff, some of the guys on the Wolfpack football team, playing Horse with friends in Southern Pines, my years swimming in high school and the state play-offs..very random shit!

I also will rock myself and think about how I rock myself...and then I will wish that my house would start rocking. It only rocks when I'm not in bed...the rare times it rocks when I am in bed it's so awesome!

3/24/2010 11:10:38 PM

I also think about projects I have going on

what I can do right now vs. what I have to prepare for

3/24/2010 11:11:19 PM

i will make it rock

3/24/2010 11:11:43 PM

I hate it when I fuss at myself for the bad things I did that day.

3/24/2010 11:12:15 PM

then I switch to sex, because I notice very quickly how nekkid I am

3/24/2010 11:12:26 PM

i also think about how i have to pee all the time

i don't really have to pee but i'm so restless that i thinka bout peeing and whether or not i have to go and even if i don't have to go i'm like "well i don't wanna wake up at 3am and have to pee so i better go now"

so i get in and out of bed like 3 times before i actually go to sleep

i also worry about whether my door is locked so i get out to check that too

and i check that my alarm is set like 37 times.

3/24/2010 11:13:02 PM

I try not to dwell on the past though, dwelling never helps

just as long as you learn from it

H8R sleeps nekkid

3/24/2010 11:13:55 PM

i usually pass out from drinking, so i don't have this problem

3/24/2010 11:14:06 PM

I ask myself if I'm tired enough for sleep, then I do a word problem to figure out how much sleep I've had the past few days

3/24/2010 11:14:43 PM

okay I think I'm gonna go think now!

3/24/2010 11:16:21 PM

Mostly vagina. And boobs. And screaming female orgasms.

3/24/2010 11:17:32 PM

i usually think something along the lines of "it really sucks sleeping alone"

/emo

3/24/2010 11:18:03 PM

I also try to make sure I've eaten enough protein, so I'll make a shake

3/24/2010 11:18:06 PM

what I need/want to do the next day

sex

what's coming up in the next month

sex

something i forgot to talk to my husband about during dinner

sex

what i should have/wanted to say during X converation

losing weight

3/24/2010 11:18:55 PM

and clean sheets, I fuckin love clean sheets

3/24/2010 11:19:00 PM

sometimes, i think about making out, you know, cause that's hott too

3/24/2010 11:19:56 PM

Usually it's, "Christ, I hope I wake up when the alarm goes off and I'm not late to work."

3/24/2010 11:21:48 PM

then I feel myself getting tired, so I'll go through whether or not I set my alarm clock or if anyone has called that I didn't return their call

and what I want for breakfast! I love scrambied eggs!

3/24/2010 11:22:04 PM

i read until i drop the kindle for the 3rd time. by then i'm just barely conscious, and i mostly read books about everest right now, so for the most part i'm thinking about mountaineering/snow/mountains/frozen dead people.

3/24/2010 11:22:40 PM

Dude! Fuck yeah, totally making scrambled eggs tomorrow morning (if I wake up in time).

3/24/2010 11:22:50 PM

sometimes, I think about that one time at band camp... except I didn't go to band camp and realize it's just a movie and it's hot when a girl says "my pussy"

3/24/2010 11:25:42 PM

I enter a pseudo-dream state where I'm thinking about things that clearly aren't happening. Like falling off a cliff or something. Or I'm in an argument with someone.

I think this sometimes if I'm not asleep by 1 or something. I rarely do though. Laziness actually causes me to lose sleep

The worst is when you are on the edge of drifting off to sleep, and you know it, but you HAVE to readjust because you aren't comfortable at all, so you roll over and then you can't get back to that point for an hour at least.

3/24/2010 11:28:18 PM

oh hell yeah, sometimes I lay there til 2, because I stayed at the gym til 11..

and I'll go watch pr0n

3/24/2010 11:28:49 PM

i think about H8R

3/24/2010 11:35:18 PM

taxes. and buying a farm. but not really dying or farming it.

and a huge garage

3/24/2010 11:35:32 PM

usually that's when solutions to homework problems i'm struggling with hit me and i'll have to jump up and scribble down my thoughts so i'll remember it the next day

i also do a lot of thinking about what i got done that day and what i've got to get done the next day

and i think about fishing sometimes

3/24/2010 11:36:09 PM

I try and learn golf swing mechanics sometimes too, right before i pass out

5 iron to a zomby's skull should do it

3/24/2010 11:39:15 PM

rehash the past.
what people meant. will they ever call me. do they think of me. what do they think of me now.
rehash fights, words, etc.
think about relationships that I have with everyone and try to analyze them.

3/24/2010 11:42:05 PM

worry, wish, hope, try to forget.
