How to Set Your Sleep Up for Success Mentally
There's some really interesting data from a guy named Charles Zeisler, who is at Harvard Meds and has done studies on sleep in humans for many decades. He observed that about 90 minutes or so before your natural bedtime, there's a spike in alertness, planning and almost anxiety that all people undergo.

They involve some breathing, some meditation type stuff, but they teach you to turn your thoughts off.
