I replay tactics puzzles in my head while in bed.

If you're really studying chess "intensively", you would probably rather have asked the question "how do I stop thinking about chess before sleep?"
the problem is that you get stressed and can not sleep.
It would be better for your brain to get a good nights sleep

I mean if my brain gets better at chess while I sleep (it even cannot sleep) then I surely do want that even if I'm tired, but does it actually make me improve that's the question
no it will not.
Take up lucid dreaming. Play chess in your dreams. I wish I would’ve had the idea to try and manifest a chess board when I was still frequently lucid dreaming

I tried already :) I often dream about chess actually (not when I lucid dream unfortunately), but often after I perform some lucid dreaming techniques I dream about chess, but is it actually going to help me improve?
I’ve had three lucid dreams, I was unable to control any of them. They were kinda scary tbh, the first time I got very scared, and it turned into a lucid nightmare. Wouldn’t recommend.

I tend to have knightmares about being locked in a cage with Carlsen until I can beat him...
Lucid dreaming has a skill spectrum like everything. I stopped using WILD because I struggled with sleep paralysis. But eventually you can control them to greater and greater extents. I would suggest that yes it would help you get better because you would be thinking without the interferences of thoughts from the waking world.
Another approach could be to not think about chess so that the brain could relax to think more intensively the next day.
So should I think about chess before bed or not?
