You know when you try to sleep in Minecraft, but you can't because there's monsters nearby?
I've always wondered if it could be something similar irl... Maybe when we cannot sleep it's because there's something that shouldn't be with us in the first place, and there's something inside us that won't let us sleep until that thing goes away. Almost like a warning sign. Sure, that's spooky as heck and even worse considering this is the kind of stuff I think about when I'm almost falling asleep.
Although I cannot help but wonder... Could that really be? I've already "seen" ghosts or rather shadow people, and even had sleep paralysis before. Now, the logical reason behind this could be stress or some mental illness (like depression, or anxiety).
I've got ADHD, so it's really hard for my brain to shut up (that's the main reason I usually take 15 to 30 minutes to fall asleep); once I couldn't sleep bc I had a MLP song stuck in my head (Smile xd).
But well, what do you guys think?

It's possible you may be in a high alert state due to the stress you mentioned. The "monsters nearby" is possibly close to the truth, except the monsters are the various things in your head that you are worried about.
I have also had sleep paralysis and seen illusions of monsters and people ; the "shadow people" are dream phantoms, illusions manifested from a weird state between wake and sleep. It occurs while our mind is shutting down ( so to speak ) and is desperately trying to make sense of external stimuli ( such as sounds and colors ) without any longer having the resources needed to translate that to our senses correctly.
It's a similar reason of why sleep paralysis happens - when our minds are only partially asleep, leaving our partial woken self trapped in our mind.
