Tips to Manage the Busy Brain for Better Sleep

One tip to quiet the busy brain for better sleep is to designate a specific 'worry window' during the day, where you allow yourself to worry about things you can't control. Another technique is to download your lingering thoughts onto a piece of paper before bedtime, reassuring your brain that you won't forget them. Additionally, walking through an imagined scene or doing a body scan can help redirect your mind away from racing thoughts and into a more relaxed state. Lastly, listening to an audiobook or podcast can distract your brain from nagging thoughts and help induce sleep.
