I also tried to sleep; my body was tired but mind fully active.

Hi

Do these lines read naturally?

I also tried to sleep; my body was tired but mind fully active. A strange stress was bugging me. I tried to put my finger on it but couldn’t. I left my bed after 30 minutes of an unsuccessful attempt to fall asleep.

Thanks,

Tom
