Maybe it is a dynamic of being in the “twilight” phase. I have noticed it most when I wake up in the middle of the night. As I am trying to go back to sleep it seems my brain is determined to review a catalogue of a lifetime of bad decisions and personal failures. I am not typically Debbie Downer, so I am unsure what biochemistry is contributing to this phenomena. But it is highly annoying.

Now I just turn on the tv to something mindless that can distract my brain and then I set the timer to turn off a bit later.

For what it’s worth, I am taking Magnesium L-Threonate now which seems to help minimize that phenomena, since it seems beneficial for sleep (and constipation caused by other medication).

Hope that is helpful!
