Why might my mind be so hyperactive before I sleep?
Every night for most of my 20 year life I have had trouble falling asleep. I will be completely exhausted (even when sick) and as soon as my head hits the pillow...boom. Wide awake. My mind won't shut off, even when I try to, I'll have a blank mind for a second then a million thoughts come rushing back in.
Any recommendation on what I could do to make falling asleep easier? My doctor recommended sleeping pills, but I really have no interest in taking medication. Is it possible my mattress is the cause? Could there be other reasons? I'm at my wits end!

Perhaps, if you have an allergy to something in the mattress. Mattresses do have toxins in them and a small percentage of the population do react to them in some way. But it equally could be unrelated to your mattress and just be a regular sleep disorder. What kind of mattress do you sleep on?
