The mind at night: replays, worst-case thinking and nightmares, sentence 11
Doubts like "did I lock the door?" feel very real at night; checking once and saying out loud "I checked, it's locked" helps more than checking again and again.
Who acts: I, Doubts · What happens: lock, feel, check, say out, help · To what, where: door · Speech: someone speaks here
