Hear My Thoughts Really Loud As I Try To Go To Sleep

by Monica Hicks
(Chicago)

I really don't know how to explain my situation. I think all the time nonstop but when I am about to go to sleep I can hear my thoughts really loud and hear other people talking back to me, as I am playing out a scene.


It's as if I think about things that happen or what I want to happen and I can hear the people play out what I would like to happen. Which makes it difficult for me to go to sleep.

Is this normal? When I do sleep I cannot recall my dream as well as cannot see any faces, sometimes do not really hear voices. It's as if I think instead of dreaming. Is something wrong with me?

 Life can be so strange..
by: Anonymous

My thoughts keep me busy.. They go round and round like a carousel. Sometimes I dont speak for hours because all has already been said to me by me in my head. It's such a strange and exciting thing...ever since I've made an effort to stay conscious.. the less I have to say.

 BIPOLAR

Hey, my head has always been "loud" too, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I'm bipolar and this is a common problem with bipolar. If you show other symptoms for bipolar you should definitely get checked out.

Yes, same here. I think what it is is that I'm worried about the day tomorrow; that's usually when it happens. Or else something happened earlier that day that was significant to me and I'm left thinking about it.

Learn how to meditate. It involves "blocking out thoughts" and that will certainly help your mind be at peace while laying in bed trying to sleep. In fact, do t try to sleep, jut lay there pretending you are a dead body, or unconscious in this case. Enjoy your sleeping.

Ear plugs and sleep mask don't eliminate the sounds of your thoughts but they mute them.

 Drown out your thoughts NEW
by: Anonymous

I put on a pair of Bluetooth headphones and load up a TV series on Netflix that I have seen a million times. Because of my familiarity, I do not really need to see the screen. This can help me drift to sleep in just a couple of minutes, rather than hours.

 reflecting is good NEW
by: Emily

i can't help reflecting before i go to sleep. i have to sit and think about the day before i go to sleep. you guys probably don't have this problem but i can hear other peoples thoughts see their auras and their demons. i HAVE to reflect or ill go insane (or simply loose a night of seep) also reflecting on your day before you go to sleep increases mental health by 10% I'm sorry this isn't really a solution but think of it more of a blessing than a curse!

i just started experiencing this and i'm glad to know that i'm not the only one. For a while i have been pretty worried that the voices in my head are other peoples that seemed strange to me. Unfortunately i have been drinking to fall asleep but i am going through a fearful state of sobriety so it is difficult.
