I'm overanalyzing this right now.

What about melatonin forsleep? I used to think and over-analyze-don't anymore

• White noise machine. I had one with ten different modes, which included things like light rain, thunderstorm, ocean waves, rainforest, birdsong, and just plain white noise. I used to bring it to the group home where I worked and one of the kids with ADHD said he liked it because it helped him concentrate. I think it works like doodling during class: keeps the squirrely part of your brain occupied so the important part can focus.
• Meditation.
• CBT.
• Sleep technique. I developed a personal program of progressive relaxation, breathing, mantra, and affirmation that really worked for me when was having terrible trouble falling asleep. I may have commented it here a while ago. PM me if you want the details.
• Journalling. To get on top of your thoughts.

If you've never tried it - this: [purrli.com] It's free.
It's a cat purring. You can change the pitch etc... nothing more relaxing.
The fellow who developed it had a bunch of folks with anxiety tell him "Thank you".

Trying to relax and concentrating on your breathing is supposed to be good. It's usually how I try to put myself to sleep.

Also, there's an insomniacs group on here.

That thing I said in second grade.

I hope they got over that.

I've had depression and anxiety since at least high school, so I have always over-thought and over-analyzed. However, nowadays it's mostly because of the fact that I'm a philosophy student, and that's really all we do

I over drink and am always anal.

I constantly overthink.

I've been able to help myself from keeping my mind racing at night by listening to YouTube lectures. I like Alan Watts, Lawrence Krause, Christopher Hitchens, and many others. Most have soothing voices and I can focus on their words as I drift off. I have it low on autoplay so I often wake to something interesting unexpectedly.

I use a pedistal fan on at night, basic white noise, I also like the wind blowing on me it relaxes my body. When my thoughts are rambling around in my head I use the 'happy place' to distract my mind. It works good for me. Did use Trazadone in the past but not anymore.

Apparently I do :/

I try to put myself in a scenario where I imagine myself in a coma and listen to conversations around me; I think its so dull that it works. Another trick is to move all electronic items with all those small flashing lights out of your bedroom and change a red-lit alarm clock to blue. Use your pre-bed routine to have a calming effected separation from day to evening even to writing down everything you're thinking about and then moving the list to another room, a symbolic letting go. You can also try laying flat, starting at your toes and moving up your body, tensing and then letting loose each body part. I don't use sleeping pills, OTC or prescription because they have the opposite effect on me.

Impossible to over-think. Rather one may confuse-think, think in circles, be indecisive.
If One thinks clearly and with a sound focus, one is contemplating or deeply analyzing but not overthinking

All the time

Not fun. After being ripped off (by trusting a person) I experienced the same about a year and a half ago and averaged about 2 hours of sleep a night. After several months of severe sleep deprivation I finally hit a bottom and managed to recover by exercising profound apathy over issues I could not control. During the darkest of time I found listening to the Blu-Ray "Monty Pyton's, Not The Messiah, He's A Very Naughty Boy" very comforting.

Hope you find a solution.

I have dealt with this same thing all my life. I have been self-medicating for many years with beer/alcohol. I can remember lying in bed for hours keeping myself awake thinking about the craziest scenarios that might happen, but which I'd never find myself in such predicaments. When I am with a partner, sex tends to be very helpful and tires me out to where I can sleep good. When I am single, two or three beers before I eventually go to bed help me wind down and fall sleep. Probably not the healthiest option. I'm a fan of the sex option!

I personally analyze every minute of my life

SOMETIMES I don't.

Trazadone gave me really vivid dreams. Wild crazy dreams. Not complaining about it, though. Just sayin'.

CBD and/or marijuana.
White noise.
Ashwaganda
Years of experimenting have yielded these for me. Everyone is different.
Thinking of you. It's difficult. You will survive.

Picture me naked. When the screaming stops you should doze right off.

All the time, it is the worst when I am unoccupied. I try to stay busy until I pass out

Sleeplessness : Give your brain a job to do i.e. not letting it wander. Spend some time thinking how long will this job take. Record your conclusions somehow. About an hour works for me as a non drug sleep inducer.

Yes, I'm afraid I do that, and it has gotten me into trouble. It's something I need to work on.

I use hanayama cast puzzles as a way to give my mind a break from overthinking. There are 6 levels. 6 is the hardest. I'm currently working on level 4s.
