Relentless Brain

I think in another life I was born in a land where people function at night the way we do in the daylight. (I say we, but I have clearly excluded myself in reality). During the day I find myself almost, less attentive, rather than in the night when most are ready to sleep and shut off.

It never turns off, never shuts down, but in the morning it slows down. I am not a dumb person, but don't confuse things I have never claimed to be a genius, I am not ignorant to the facts I do NOT know.

So it's time for bed, and my relentless brain decides it's time to go into overdrive. Sometimes it's hard to even get through one thought without trailing off onto another. In fact, all the time, but when trying to focus on one particular thing just so I can say it, type it, do it? Very trying. When trying to sleep (without prescription sleeping medication), impossible. I can lay awake for hours just going in circles trailing from one thought to the next.. Sometimes it's the most meaningless things that lead to important things, and vise versa.

For all the night owls out there with the same problem let's start a buzz! What kind of remedies have you come across to calm the mind? How have you tamed this problem before? Has one way worked for you one day and not the next? Tell me all about it!
