Why does my brain continue to race as i try and sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Racing thoughts: If this does not happen in the daytime & you are not diagnosed with mood disorder, more likely it relates to having too much on your mind, especially things you worry about if they were not completed earlier, or worries about a task you are preparing for the next day. Sleep hygiene & relaxation/meditation might help.
