"When you’re already overthinking and you start overthinking your overthinking."

What sounds like an almost outdated meme unfortunately happens for many not just in a social media feed, but in real life – often in the evenings, accompanied by inner restlessness and sleepless nights. Seemingly never-ending spirals of thoughts can be related to the brain’s regeneration and the so important nightly 'tidying up' process. The next day, this can result in not always feeling fully rested or focused.

Procrastination is rarely a time problem, but rather an interplay of knowledge and inaction. When focus, alertness or concentration decreases, the internal barrier to getting started increases.

The workaround: We procrastinate and feel briefly relieved, but the actual task continues to run in the background. Often the reason lies less in a lack of organization than in limited mental availability.

The absolute final opponent: nights when the body is tired but the head doesn't want to switch off. Suddenly it's there, the mentally awake state that we so desperately wished for earlier in the day. We lie in bed, tossing and turning from side to side, counting not sheep but thoughts.

Falling asleep becomes a task, staying asleep becomes an exception. And the stronger the attempt to finally find peace, the more paradoxically the feeling of being “on” becomes present – ​​a vicious circle.
