Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

sleeping my life away

I seem to be sleepy all the time. I just want to lay down. It is the only time my brain shuts up. Sleep. A rest from the mental clutter I’ve had lately. Like an introvert in a crowd of talking people. My mind gets so noisy I just want to scream “shut up!” How to find a quiet place.

Comment by Floris on July 7, 2015 at 4:52am: The post is tagged depression and I never had a serious, heavy depression as a medical condition. However...

I do sleep at least 9 hours if not 10 or 11 a night. This is considered much but I just need it. Also, I've always been laid back and designed my entire life to be not too draining of the little energy I have.

This could also be because of a busy mind. Practicing Mindfulness could help a little (do not expect miracles). Some of the exercises let you focus on a particular problem you're worrying about. Long walks can also help. Again, do not expect miracles but give it a try and see how it makes you feel.
