My DD4 has a very active mind that she can't shut down at bedtime. I'm the same way, and we both have to be exhausted in order to fall asleep quickly. Sometimes she's still awake at 10 after having gone to bed at 8:30. My DS8 goes to sleep relatively quickly and rarely wakes up. DS6 is somewhere in between. I often lie awake for an hour or two after going to bed, even if I'm tired!
I asked a couple of GT friends about their sleep patterns and some were like me and some weren't. I agree with the people who say that this habit is a feature of being GT and not a bug. I don't know how common it is in the general population.
