What to Do When Your Brain Won't Stop

Lying in bed while your mind is racing like a runaway horse? You are not alone. A powerful technique is 'Brain Dumping': write down everything on your mind before bed. This signals to your brain that the information is safe and it can let go. Another method is mindfulness: observe your thoughts like clouds passing in the sky without judgment. If the thoughts are too strong, get out of bed and do a boring task in dim light until you feel sleepy again. This prevents your brain from associating the bed with wakefulness.
