Gemini Sun Virgo Rising_ Over Analyzing

Tell me what you do to shut your brain down to get some sleep. I find myself constantly trying to solve something.

Well if your a Gemini, not much lol.

I've had sleep problems for 7 months = Leo :-)

I have the same issue. I'm virgo rising and over analyze to death. I do some of my best thinking at night when I'm trying to sleep. I think of things I should have said that would have made my point much easier or how I should have handled a situation better. At night, perception for me has more clarity.

I have had a situation that involves a relationship from years back. We met this past spring at one of his events. And he went back to his same critical behavior he had years ago. This time around, I was ready for it, I'm also married, so that helped, and obviously more mature. Instead of being polite and allowing him to do his passive aggressive crap, I replied back with comments about how wonderful my husband was and how fun my kids were. That pretty much changed his behavior and cut him off without me just saying, "You know what, I'm tired of your critical comments about me. You're a jerk etc."

BTW, I take a melatonin and some GABA before bed. Both are good for you and help bring about sleep by increasing your serotonin levels in your brain.
Also very important, DON'T EAT heavy carbs within a couple hours of going to bed. If you are hungry and can't go to bed without eating something, grab some protein. It won't block serotonin, but will make you feel full enough to sleep.

I do not have virgo rising, but I over-analyze, as well... For me, I just have to give it time to wind down. There is no "sure fire way" of doing it. Just before I sleep, every night, I lay down and start unwinding the whole day, or 3, out. Eventually, it wears me down and I pass out. Lol!

I close my eyes and try to somehow see my eyelids, then I get distracted and sleep

I do exactly the same thing. Always looking for different or better ways to a situation. Both a gift and a curse. I am already at it again tonight. ..lol
