Your Type
You look fast asleep on the surface, but your brain is aggressively overthinking every little thing that happened today. This state of "body still but brain overactive" actually masks your deep anxiety about "losing control and not being perfect"; you fear you didn't perform well enough during the day or missed important details, so you use nightly self-review to punish yourself and try to regain a sense of control. But the night is for resting, not a courtroom to judge yourself. Try keeping a small notebook by your bed, write down your worries, and tell yourself "I'll handle it tomorrow"; when you learn to let go of your imperfect self, your brain can truly shut down.
