How do you stop overthinking while trying to get to sleep?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

To stop overthinking while trying to sleep, establish a calming bedtime ritual. Start winding down an hour before bed with activities like reading, gentle stretching, or meditation. Journaling your thoughts can also help clear your mind. Focus on your breath and practice mindfulness to anchor your thoughts. Creating a consistent sleep routine signals your body it’s time to relax, ultimately leading to better sleep quality and less overthinking.

When my time comes to replenish my mind and body with sleep/rest I ask Alexa to play Binaural Beats for 1 hour. It seldom takes more than 15 minutes for me to fall into a peaceful sleep
