Yeah
I definitely overthink before sleep, I’m relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it
Try mindfulness meditation. It has helped me get reins on my running mind, especially when I’m trying to sleep.
I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn’t hurt and would probably help
Por que no los todos
Idk if that is good Spanish but everywhere
por qué no todos would be the right way to phrase it, you were close enough though good job
Yes.
While going to sleep. Then I don’t go to sleep but get up and go smoke or something until the overthink is gone
That’s how I get more than 4 hours of sleep every night with this simple trick!
Public spaces and my face cannot hide my thoughts.
I get some strange looks
For me its when I’m sitting on my bed after showering and getting dressed
Washing dishes is the place of least overthinking, mostly because I have to put something in the background to keep the thoughts at bay. If not it’s constant.
Before sleeping. It also always makes me think of this song
Everywhere?
Yes.
Wait, you guys can stop over thinking?
If you are always listening to podcasts or audio books your brain can’t over think so you only do it while trying to sleep.
I put something on my phone when going to sleep
You and I work very differently, it seems.
Jokes on you, brain. I listen to sleeping podcasts. The thoughts will never catch me.
With headphones? Mine’s are not comfortable enoguh to even lie on one side without feeling pain on my ears. :/
I actually have the same issue and can’t wear earbuds in bed. I went as far as to purchase special sleeping headphones, they’re over the ear and really small (they market themselves as the smallest in the world). I can hardly feel them honestly. However, I was cheap and bought the wired version so now the wire bothers me. If you have money to waste, they’re called bedphones. Just make sure you get the wireless ones.
I sleep on my own now so I just put the sound on my speaker, but sleeping alone is all its own privilege.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll guess it’s something I’ll try at some point. At the moment I currently sleep blindfolded and with earplugs. I like both absolute darkness and having my bedroom properly ventilated.
I don’t usually over think but I just think of some random shit all day long and it’s hard to just focus on something unless I am absolutely into it and enjoy it. I don’t think I have ADHD but never bothered getting diagnosed as it’s not bad enough to worry.
Rn thinking about dot age on the toilet doom scrolling and does anyone play the game? Should I stick with full tomato farms for food or should I try to unlock wheat and switch to it? I only have 2 thinkers pondering at the tree and +4 research doesn’t seem to cut it and progress feels slow. But I am expanding a fair bit and nearly occupied the whole map so should I halt expansion and focus on research? This is my first run and halfway through summer.
It won’t ever shut up (brainhole adhd).
It’s more what triggers the few seconds of quiet I get blessed with every few moons.
