When I,m tired and decide to go to bed I often tend to think more. For example when I,m in bed I think like this "Is an egg a vegetable or meat" but when I am not sleepy I think like this. "I wonder what,s for dinner" like some sort of idiot even though I,m making myself dinner.
I do that a lot too, although my thoughts are deep and complex. I feel the same was as you, Ldizzy, it keeps me up a lot and kinda irritates me. Anyway, I think the reason why you think more when you're in bed is because you don't have anything to do except sleep, which is natural and an every day thing. So when you get in bed, you kinda forget about the everyday things per say and your mind wanders because it's so used to having something to do or to process, so you just... think, y'know?
I often lay awake thinking about past social conflicts that have not been fully resolved to my satisfaction.
I do more deep thinking when I go to bed, it actually prevents me from falling asleep. I kinda hate it.
I'm trying to train my brain to think of the bed only as a place to sleep and to have sex. If Im just lying there thinking, I get out of bed.
Coming from what Afflicted said, I think maybe it's because you're so distracted in the day with chores or whatever, and when you're in bed you have nothing to do but think and wait for yourself to fall asleep. It happens to me a lot too.
I dunno if I would ever consider an egg to be a vegetable...a chicken-fruit, sure.
I think it is because more blood goes to your head when you are laying down and also you're more relaxed.
