Does anyone ellse tend to have an overactive brain before they go to bed? Like if your staying some where different like at a relative's house you can't sleep well unless it's your own bed. Other people's houses freak me out at night time. I can literally here everything from pipes creeking to floor boards to the wind outside. Then my over imagination kikcs in and thinks there must be somone there when reality I do t beleive in ghosts but old Victorian propperties really creep me out. I sleep fine in my house but when we stay at families houses not so much.

I read somewhere that humans are wired to be on alert during sleep to protect themselves from danger. I guess it's inbuilt and more prevalent in some people.
I sleep better when my daughter is away at her Daddys as I feel I can fully relax and not have to be ready incase she wakes up and I need to have the perfect parent mask on. She phoned me tonight from Daddys which she rarely does. It made my heart dance.
I am alert at night, as soon as I hear a voice I am awake. Which is annoying at the moment because my wife’s medication is giving her vivid dreams and sometimes she talks!

Oh no!!! That's very frustrating and exhausting! Could you sleep in different rooms or could you wear ear plugs? I can't as they irritate me but I don't need to as I sleep alone being single and all.

Your poor wife too, I hope that she sleeps okay despite the vivid dreams..... I've never let my daughter snuggle with me if she has a nightmare as I'm badly behaved in my sleep, I talk, punch, kick, get up and go to other rooms. As a teenager, I once woke up in my parents living room three times! Eventually I just thought, I obviously want to be here for some reason so I slept in the living room and stopped trying to go back to my own room......
it’s not so bad and luckily it’s not every night. I usually go back to sleep pretty quickly.
