lying in bed quietly trying to fall asleep is terrible. My brain doesn't stop, it's like a pitching machine that's gone rouge and I'm the batter stuck in the cage.

Whenever I'm finally about to fall asleep, I notice myself falling asleep and become fully awake, because my brain goes "Yes! I'm falling asleep! Hurrah!"

Every time :angery:

    I've never felt like I'm in control of my dreams, but I occasionally have dreams where I'm aware I'm dreaming and I know I can force myself awake at any time.
