        Greetings!
        Usually that happens when trying to sleep with a weak sleep drive. A.K.A not sleepy. Try to go to bed after 16-18 hours of continuous wakefulness. Or when you are really sleepy, such as difficulty keeping awake, head nodding off, eyes really heavy. Keep to a
        regular bedtime so you get sleepy by the same time each
        night. Best wishes!

          @Cmcmeek,

          Are your thoughts and arousal specific to a sleep concern or just a general “monkey mind” of thoughts about work, life, etc? Are you implementing any relaxing techniques 1-2 hours prior to bedtime, such as, reading, watching tv, meditating, crafting, etc to calm your mind?
