I think too much! Help!

Does anyone of you think too much that you can't sleep anymore? I woke up at 3 am this morning to pee and can't go back to sleep because of my thinking mode. I think about what to do for tomorrow or the near future , making to do list in my mind, how to be productive, or assessing my or other's actions the last days . Really exhausting.

Am i like this because of being a libra? I am new to learning other planets signs so i really can't tell.

Moon Scorpio
Mercury Scorpio
Venus Libra
Mars Virgo

If this can help to understand me more, please give me your insights.

I usually have ANXEITY hat keeps me up if ever I can't sleep. It's debilitating bc life isn't that serious but I worry and worry

I've noticed that libra women day dream a lot and even ponder at night about various things. I always tell them to relax, stop worrying so much, be a bit more in the present etc.

yeahh.. i am like that.. 😢 and since i have a worrier partner too we worry together. Hehe. but i envy him because when he falls as sleep he fall asleep like a baby, or if he wakes up at the middle of the night, he can get back to sleep right away.

I know right? hmm.. next month i will start going tp the gym and have language course...so hopefully i get mentally and physically exhaust d(positive way)during the day and hopefully i will sleep deep at night.

I overanalyze everything. The only time it ever effected my sleep is if I leave something major unresolved. I've learned to seperate my productive thought from the over board stuff, or at least to identify the latter.

If there's a real problem, address it. Take the steps you need to, then take comfort knowing you did what you could. You can't stress too much about the parts you can't control.

If the sleep problems come from pure over analyzing and causing drama for yourself, stop it. Learn to notice when you've gone past a productive stage and bring it back.

There's nothing wrong with being a thinker and exploring options and possibilities. You just can't live there. Make a plan, take some steps, then enjoy the process.

Thank you for this practical advise. Yes, i am really working on it. I am staying in a host family for 2 years now and I think being in a roof that i have no control makes me anxious. I hope my sleep will be better once i move out next month. 4 days to go!!

Yes. I'm a serious night owl. I stay up so I can have some time to myself after my daughter goes to bed. Then when I finallly go to bed around 1am, I have trouble falling asleep. My mind is racing. Worrying about this and that. Then I fall asleep, but my sleep is spotty at best. I wake up often through the night and I wake up early. I'm never able to sleep past 7 am.

I work out 5x/week. That doesn't help me. It sucks because I think my lack of sleep is changing my hormones 😢

I'm going to try getting to bed by 11:30 starting tonight. I had success with that before.

Geminis and libras seem to have trouble with sleep. Aquas sleep like a rock.

Wow! Motherhood is really challenging. I too need my 'Me time' before bed. So good luck to me once I will be a mom one day.

Ohh yeah! I remember an aqua friend! She sleeps fast, even while we are still talking. lol

@Sugarfoot, that is so true..LOL...I just had a Sleep Study done because I don't think I 've had a good nite sleep in about 6 years. One of my really good friends is an Aqua and that chic sleeps like a log. She's never had any issues getting her rest, but me....nah...I don't know what else to do now, so I'm pretty much half the night just sittin there lookin and then my alarm goes off at 4:45 and I get up for work. You'd think after not getting much sleep that I wouldn't be able to sit up and work, but nope...I just mosey along through the day like nobody's business and I know that can't be normal or is it? for Air signs maybe?

I'm like this lately too but it's because I'm pregnant.

Normally when my conscious self becomes awake, it's hard for me to fall asleep again. I usually read something to make my eyes tired and feel sleepy again. Chamomile tea or carrot juice helps too.

Lol. One time I told my Aqua father that I couldn't sleep. He said, "What do you mean? Just tell yourself to go to sleep and you'll fall asleep. That's what I do."

Awesome. Lol.

I'm gonna try melatonin tonight.

haha! Really awesome!

Actually, my sleep was better, I still woke up the middle of the night to pee (my bladder sucks), so i took a deep breath. I was just focusing on inhaling and exhaling. There are still moments my brain goes to thinking mode but then i tried to stop and focus again in inhaling/exhaling deeply. I fell asleep faster than the other nights, not as fast i as i want but better than 2 to 3 hours or thinking. Maybe you try this out.

Because of my mars in virgo too right? i love it when i am in work mode, really keeps me focus. Just the sleeping part is really challenging.

Masturbation should work.

azeru - Glad you had better sleep. I went to bed at 11:30 and actually stayed asleep (minus one bathroom break)! I was wide awake at 6 though. I had 6.5 hours of sleep and I'm not mad at that at all 🙂. I didn't need the melatonin. I don't usually have trouble falling asleep. It's staying asleep that's my problem.

Breathing exercises work for me too. I read in a meditation book once, try breathing in one nostril and breathing out the other. You won't be able to do it but concentrating on that clears your mind of the junk so you can fall asleep.

Yes, staying asleep is my biggest issue too! I will really try not to drink a lot of water in the evening because my bladder is the culprit of me waking up at the middle of the night. Yes, i think you do not need melatonin. I wish you had a deep one tonight though.. 🙂

Haha, yeah! after reading this i was trying to breath in on one nostril and out on the other. Haha! that was really hard. I think this will make me laugh while trying to fall asleep.

I will be able to sleep early if I tell myself that I'll not be able to wake up or I'll feel grumpy the next day. Works well for me at least. Now I won't be able to sleep if my mind is active or agitated and this includes dxp "debates" so I try not to have any if I'm busy the whole week. Chamomile tea doesn't work for me though. What works is a full day outside and clean bedsheets.'

Congrats on the pregnancy, too AD!

I am afraid to be grumpy the next day either, but i am glad there are days i am still cheerful after just having 5 hours of sleep. Except if my period is coming, i will be really grumpy.. especially without a deep sleep. lol

lol. I think this will make me wide awake even more. I will stick to the breathing method. 😄
