Answer 1

Sheer exhaustion.

Common for people that cannot turn their brain off. Some can fall asleep the minute they enter the bed, others can’t stop thinking about things.

And when you are one of the latter, you probably keep on going until your body is so tired, it can finally overrule all your thinking. Not great. But it works. Its just not fun when this happens 5 minutes before you need to wake up again. Your body was hoping to finally catch up on some rest. A shame humans invented alarm clocks.
