Racing thoughts at bed time

Why is it that I can occupy my mind during the day and fight off negative thoughts but as soon as it is time to go sleep my thoughts start racing, I get anxious and can't fall asleep??

@GoBlue That can be totally normal! When we go to sleep, we often have nothing else to distract our minds with so anxious thoughts might creep up on us before bed. Have you tried any methods to cope with these thougths?

I understand how you're feeling.
I had to start listening to sleep hypnosis to fall asleep. Now my issue is waking at 3 or 4 in the morning and my mind races about silly things I have no control over but it keeps me up for hours. sometimes I just give up and crawl out of bed by 5 am and hope I don't have to deal with people at work.
