I just woke up in the middle of the night too. That seems to be when our thoughts come to us.

I feel the same way. I guess the night feels empty, the lack of noise, the traffic and what ever makes life so stressful.

Do you know that is already the end of April and it was just last week that was New Year. This shows how life is so stressful making the days go by like grains of sand between your fingers.

About 95% of the time I fall to sleep within 5 min. but that is due to my Fibro and although I am sleep I never have a restful night. I wake up every morning feeling worst than the night before.

In any rate all this just to say I empathize with you.

I find the same thing to the nights are the worst .....I have a hard time to go to sleep ...can lay in bed for 2and 3 hours before going to sleep ..so now when I get tired of just laying in bed I get up for a little while and than try to go back to bed again .....I read to that helps ...I sleep the best between 4 and 8 in the morning .....at the moment I am on sleeping pills I never went on them before and I have always had problems sleeping but I just could not sleep at all for 3 wreaks I would rest but that wasn't cutting it .....I intend on slowly getting off of them now since my depression is getting better ...I have gone from two to one sleeping pill a night ..now ..so far so good .....I think more at night that doesn't help .....take care ...god bless ......I also practice meditation you could try that .....it can help .....god bless

For some reason, when I wake up in the morning, I don't feel healthy, I have anxiety, and I guess I'm already expecting the worse. It's so sad to not be able to enjoy your own home. But when night comes, my mother goes to bed at 8:00 and I have the house to myself with my dog Anny. I was always a night person since I was young so I guess some habits are hard to break. Hugs GB

Nightime is the toughest. At least during the evenings there is someone to talk to online.

I relate to this. For me, I enjoy the night, yet I don't at the same time. I enjoy the silence. It's peaceful. Everyone being asleep, I have time just to myself. I've always been a night person. It's when I feel my best. I have insomnia, so it's a struggle to get to bed. This being said, when it's silent and I'm alone, I'm more aware of my thoughts. Trust me, my head isn't a good place to be. There's not many positive thoughts there. So they come over me and I almost get lost in them. I try to distract myself by coming on here and fb while listening to music because music really helps me.
