Is it normal to wake up thinking strange things?

Often when I wake up it's stressful, I'm trying to solve some sort of seemingly nonsensical problem, or just obsessing over some thought. It feels like my mind is in overdrive. It usually only lasts 30 seconds or so until I realize I'm in bed and doing this. Has anyone else experienced something like this regularly upon waking up.

    Not regularly, but it has happened. It's almost as if it's the act of concentrating itself that wakes me up.

    You sound like you are out of control.
    This is a known issue, and can be managed by medication. Ask your doctor for advice.
    You shouldn't be waking up stressful or anxious.
