I'm with you on this K-Wise
I have the most sporadic thoughts when i'm trying to go to sleep..All it takes is one word and i'm thinking of something totally different and it just keeps snowballing until i'm in that zone where i'm half asleep half awake. Then i'm like YES i'm falling asleep and then..I wake up and do it all over again.
Music is what usually helps me..Just loud enough to hear it.
What really gets to me is..I will start thinking "I think i feel a piss coming on", Then i kinda make myself have to piss then i don't wanna get out of my warm bed and walk on the cold floor in my bare feet but then i won't be able to fall asleep until i go use the washroom.
