Counting sheep is a myth for aiding sleep; studies show it can hinder falling asleep. Instead, visualizing a pleasant environment, such as a nature walk or a beach stroll, helps facilitate relaxation and sleep. Shifting focus away from anxious thoughts is beneficial, and a practical method to achieve this is through journaling concerns. Writing down worries an hour or two before bedtime, often referred to as a worry journal, helps in managing thoughts, akin to closing unnecessary tabs on a computer to ensure a smoother startup the next day. This practice allows for emotional release and prepares the mind for rest.
