Ahhh.... the advent of white noise. While I'm currently depression-free and have been for a long time, I, too, chatter noisily in my mind while attempting to go to sleep. I can fall asleep on the couch with the television going and IF I can make it upstairs (after my husband gently wakes me) and into bed before becoming fully awake, I can go back to sleep. If I go straight to bed, it's at least an hour before sleep. Since I'm a writer, I put the time to good use by mentally working on whatever I'm writing at the time. Actually, it's nice prep time for the writing I'll be doing early in the morning, although I wonder what several hours of nothing but sleep would feel like.
