Huh that happens to me too, tooth grinding and all. I never thought it might not be normal. In periods it's so bad I have to completely avoid music or I won't be able to sleep. I'll just lie in bed jamming for hours. It's incredibly annoying, and a bit scary to observe my mind going in circles like that.

It's definitely stress/anxiety related for me, or at least coincident.

I don't play an instrument, do you? Maybe it could "get it out of the system" somehow?

it's slightly relieving to hear you experience similar and find it normal

yes to it getting in the way of sleep and yes to probably anxiety related

I used to listen to a lot of music and play a few instruments as a hobby, but have had no time to in recent years. I consider myself an incredibly musical person and wonder if recording the main offenders would expel them. I would love to find the time to turn this affliction into a creative process, both as a hobby and possible therapy
