Thinking too much isn't necessarily a good thing and many of us may allow it to happen far more often than we realize.

It would take too much energy for your brain to function in all areas at one time so although your brain is constantly at work it conserves energy by having neurons fire at different times throughout different areas of the brain. This process occurs even while you sleep, in fact there is a lot of activity going on while you are sleeping. Seeing old Uncle Henry slumped over and sleeping in his easy chair it can be difficult to imagine...
