Does anyone else feel like their thoughts get way louder the second the room gets quiet?

This is something I’ve been noticing a lot with night anxiety.

During the day, even if I’m anxious, there’s usually enough going on around me that my brain doesn’t fully lock onto it. But at night, when everything gets quiet, it’s like my thoughts suddenly get way louder.

Stuff I barely noticed earlier starts feeling intense. Random worries come back. Small thoughts turn into big ones. Even things I know aren’t urgent somehow start feeling heavy when I’m lying there in the dark.

I think that’s one of the hardest parts for me — it’s not always that something new is wrong, it’s just that the quiet makes everything in my head feel harder to ignore.

Does anyone else get that?
Like the silence at night makes your brain feel 10 times louder?

And if this happens to you too, what actually helps?

Not generic advice, i mean something that genuinely makes the mental noise calm down a little.
