I don't know what I'm thinking, and I can't sleep every day. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Sometimes I don't even know what I'm thinking, but I can't sleep even very late. I have things to do the next day, and I can't get up the next day. I don't know how to improve this situation.

Hello, question owner! I'm Yuyi, and I'm here to help.

It's totally normal to sometimes not know what you're thinking when you can't sleep late at night. We've all been there! You have things to do the next day, but you can't get up. It can be really frustrating, but try not to worry.

We all know that sleeping well is about falling asleep peacefully. When you're calm and at ease, it's much easier to drift off. But did you know that your thoughts can also affect your ability to sleep?

Why not give this a try? Just let your thoughts wander wherever they may, and don't interfere. Don't do anything until you feel a hint of anxiety or other emotion, and then summarize and understand what's going on. This will help calm your emotions.

If you're having trouble calming your emotions or you're not sure why, it might be helpful to consider your own biological clock and whether you're used to sleeping at this time. You can adjust your biological clock by forcing yourself to get up in the morning and going to bed early, even if you can't sleep at night.

I'd also love to share some tips that I've found really helpful for falling asleep and sleeping well. You can choose to adopt them as you see fit!

1. It's also a great idea to arrange the layout of your room to help you sleep better. You can arrange the room's scenery, change the room's smell (you can put some sleep-promoting aromatherapy and other sleep-promoting materials), and control the room's color and other aspects.

2. Before going to bed, you can play some relaxing, comfortable, healing, or other light music that helps you sleep (just try not to play any kind of passionate, loud music). This will help you create a better sleeping environment. Another point is to try not to put your phone next to your bed or keep it too close to you, so that it doesn't disturb you from falling asleep. Also, try not to play with your phone while you're trying to sleep.

3. You can do some moderate exercise during the day. You are most likely to fall asleep tired after exercise, but try to avoid strenuous exercise right before going to bed, as it may have the opposite effect. Try not to sleep during the day, even if you are sleepy, and just hang in there (with the exception of napping). Try not to drink coffee or other drinks that inhibit sleep, and make sure you can sleep at the right time.

I hope these suggestions help! There are lots of other ways to improve your sleep. Have fun trying different methods until you find the perfect fit. I'm rooting for you!

Hello! I saw your question about not knowing what to think about and not being able to sleep every night. Let me be clear: you need to stop thinking about daytime matters and work matters when you go to bed at night.

There is a reason why we can't sleep. You may not be aware of it, or you may think the thoughts you're having are meaningless, but you have to know what you're thinking.

The root cause is that you are unaware of your inner psychology. You may think some thoughts are meaningless and random, but they are not a big deal.

All thoughts have a directional meaning, regardless of their content. Even if some thoughts are chaotic and seem inconsequential, they can still affect your inner state.

Furthermore, sleep must be natural for it to be effective. The body's biological clock has a specific rhythm, and modern lifestyles often disrupt this rhythm. For instance, many people go to bed late, around 11 or 12 p.m. at night. Regardless of what time you go to bed, it's essential to follow your body's natural response and don't restrict it.

You may think you have things to do the next day, but you don't have to force yourself to go to bed at a certain time. Sleep comes naturally, and you don't have to worry about how much sleep you get.

I took a sleep-related course and learned that everyone needs different amounts of sleep. Some people need five hours, some need eight, and some only need four. As long as you let sleep come naturally, that's fine.

You can improve your sleep, but you have to gradually adjust your biological clock.

If you keep thinking about daytime matters and work matters when you go to bed at night, your thoughts will become more and more active, which will affect your sleep. It's as simple as that.

Before going to sleep, think about happy things, not annoying things. You will fall asleep without realizing it.

Furthermore, mindfulness meditation is an invaluable tool for physical and mental regulation, regulating emotions, regulating sleep, and relaxing the body and mind.

Mindfulness meditation provides a systematic meditation training that allows you to view all your thoughts without judgment. This leads to a more rational and comprehensive view of any thought, which naturally improves concentration.

Furthermore, scientific studies have proven that meditation and positive mindfulness training can effectively lower cortisol levels and blood pressure.

Neuroscientists have proven that even a few minutes of meditation can improve memory and cognitive function at work.

Mindfulness meditation improves sleep and reduces insomnia. A study found that adults who regularly practice meditation experience significant improvements in their sleep and insomnia.

Meditation will help you fall asleep twice as fast as before, and the effect is long-lasting.

I totally get how frustrating that is. Our minds just won't switch off sometimes, and it affects everything else. Maybe setting up a calming bedtime routine could help signal to your body it's time to rest.

Finding yourself in this situation sounds really tough. It seems like your mind stays active late into the night. Have you considered trying relaxation techniques or meditation before bed to ease your thoughts?

It sounds like you're going through a rough patch with sleep. One thing that might help is sticking to a strict sleep schedule, even on days off, to regulate your body clock better.
