Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well.
I wanted to ask if anyone here struggles with falling asleep because their mind stays too active at night. Even when I avoid caffeine and screens late, my brain still feels “switched on,” and it takes a long time to relax. I’ve noticed this happens more on days when I spend time on mentally stimulating activities, even light ones like word or puzzle games — similar to what people mention when talking about spellbeegame website and other brain-engaging apps.
So I’m curious — when mental stimulation affects sleep onset, is it more about timing, screen exposure, or overall cognitive load during the day? And what’s worked for you to calm your mind before bed without feeling bored or restless?
Would love to hear your experiences. Thanks!
