Do you alway seem to have a song playing in your head?

I read that it’s a form of stress/anxiety to always have music playing in your head. I can go to sleep then wake up and it’s still playing. Doesn’t Matter if I listen to the song over and over again trying to stop it it will still be stuck. The song will be playing in my head for a few days then I’ll hear a new one and that one will get stuck. Does this happen to anyone else?

I wake up to a song in my head every single day. somedays it lasts all day and into the next.
A few weeks ago it was the same silly song for almost 4 solid days.
But, I do have quieter days too, where its not so musical.

@nonsensiclesnail same with me as well. I’m relieved to hear that I’m not the only person who experiences this. Thank you for commenting. I hope you have quieter days soon.

@DisarrayedNightshade I don't mind actually. There are times of course, when I hate the song... or i've listened to it for 4 days straight... of course I need those to happen less.
I do wonder sometimes how my brain goes about choosing the music.
and is the music influencing me or is my own mood influencing the music choices.

For a time I kept track of the song I woke up to - to see. if there was any pattern, but I saw nothing even remotely interesting. If it is a sort of anxiety, that almost makes sense to me, but again makes me ask if its the music causing the anxiety, or a response, or is it out anxiety picking the music, and if so, why does it pick songs i've never heard before at times.

@nonsensiclesnail it’s hard to tell. The human brain is a mysterious place. Sometimes it drives me nuts just trying to figure it out. It also drives me nuts when I have a song stuck in my head for multiple days. Ugh 😑 where’s the on off button
