    Sometimes I get sleepy, but my brain doesn't stop thinking. I listen to storybooks with music to help me sleep. When I try to count sheep, I end up daydreaming. And when I listen to music, I forget about it and start daydreaming again. If the story is super interesting, I stay awake longer. But the most sleepy audiobooks for me are the boring ones or the ones I already know. Today, I'm trying to write my thoughts down, maybe it will help me stop thinking so much and make my head less full!

      Daydreaming for me usually leads to nighdreaming if I'm lying in bed.

      But my problem is anxiety. I usually only sleep when my exhaustion overcomes my anxiety; similarly, I get up when my anxiety overwhelms my exhaustion. I'm always some combination of exhausted and anxious and it's an ongoing problem. I have no useful advice to give you, I'm just showing you the dark path I myself tread.

      Given my druthers, I read novels until I fall asleep.
