I’m no expert, but I personally think it has a lot to do with the habit of bringing up your huge amount of thoughts. When you’re up and doing things you’re typically thinking about…well…the things you’re doing. When you lay down to go to sleep for the night, you habitually start thinking about what happened during the day, what will happen tomorrow and probably what happened yesterday too. That’s a ton of information to process and likely triggers some type of anxiety that causes your brain to be on guard. As soon as I figured out how to meditate and focus on nothing but my breath, I’m able to fall asleep within a half hour every night, consistently.
