Is it the lights? .... or just that your brain is active and it needs to slow down a little before trying to go to sleep?

I know for me, if I am in my family room (dull lighting) and can be very sleepy very early ... whereas if I go to my sewing room, I am wide awake and can sew/quilt late into the night. If I go to bed, and can't sleep, it's usually because I am continuing to quilt "in my mind" with the creative juices failing to stop flowing. That being said, that when this has happened, I have been able to learn how to turn my brain off ... and be able to set things aside til the morning, after that good night's sleep!!
