Is it normal to have deep thoughts when in bed, then not act on them?

11 Comments

Often when I lie there waiting to go to sleep I'll start thinking about things about my life and the way it's going, I have some deep moments where I analyse what's happening and come to conclusions which seem to make sense, and will improve my life as long as I put the effort in. It makes me feel happy and content as I feel like it is something which will change things for the better and will definitely occur.

Then the next morning I'll wake up, and fail to act on my self made promises and my life carries on as normal.

Anyone else have this?

    I do this too! And its not that I forget about the ideas and that I should just write them down, it is just that I fail to act on them. I don't know about you but I know I just need to get motivated and act on these things like I should!

    Yes, but my thoughts always include how my life will be made interesting by having a special encounter with someone not normal as in human biology and then iwill be made biologicaly un normal.

    Most people do the exact same thing, however, if you really are determined, you can strike up the courage to do these things.

    Definetly normal, i do it when I just need to make sense of everything. I find it kind of a way for the brain to sort the current day out as a way to help me sleep a little better at night, even though I will most often sleep throughout the night without that, it just feels good to do it because I feel like I sorted out my thoughs correctly.

    Get a notebook or a journal and before bed- start writing down your thoughts, plans, ideas of how you want to change and improve..
    Writing it down will help you remember your thoughts AND it makes you more committed to actually act on those thoughts, ideas, and plans!
    But yes, it is normal and there is room to improve!

    I am very guilty of this. I get all my good ideas when I go to bed.

    I think so I kinda do the same thing where I'll think of things like that to make myself feel better but then the next day or whenever I just go back to normal life and don't really think about it lol
