Loud, racing thoughts before I go to bed

Question

Asked for Female, 16 Years

Ever since I was young, I've ocassionally been experiencing weird things in my head while I'm in bed at night. As I'm lying in completely silence, a thought, song, or word plays in my head, but it gets louder and louder and faster each time. It's almost like screaming. It used to make me really uncomfortable and scared when I was younger.

Hello young lady. Your symptom seems very unclear. Will require detailed evaluation. But on preliminary basis I think this may be hypnogogic hallucinations which are weird sensations or perceptions during onset of sleep .They are common. Pls visit a psychiatrist. Or it may be a symptom of some underlying sleep disorder.
