How can I stop my mind racing when I go to sleep?

I try to calm myself and listen to relaxing music. But what works best for me is coming here in this website and chat with people. It's a really good distraction and helps me forget about my worries.

What do you want from your life? Imagine yourself living the life exactly like you wish for, the one where you have everything that you have wanted. Now hold that thought, and stay in that thought. it helps :)

Don't try to stop your mind from racing, let it race and allow yourself to think. Take your time and if you feel like your mind is still racing, make a list of all the things you'd like to say and do, sleep over the night and then think about the things again trough a new perspective because a new day has begun. :)

Listening to music usually helps me. It calms my mind right away and I just doze off not long after I begin listening.

I think it's pretty normal for your mind to race before you go to sleep. This is normal anxiety. Try and think of positive things and let your mind drift off, and hopefully you'll fall asleep. One thing that helps me sleep way better is exercise - if I find I'm not sleeping well it's usually because I haven't been working out enough.

distraction is the answer! I either listen to music or what really helps me is to write all my thoughts down before i go to bed so my mind feels 'cleaned out'.

think about things that make you happy. stay active during theday so you are more tired during the night and more likely to sleep.

When going to sleep, try to minimize any tech activity. Put your phone on silent and face down, turn off the television and the computer. Try to keep your bedroom as dimly lit while you are preparing for bed. All of these activities will help to ease the mind and thereby, calm the body; this will make it easier for you to fall asleep quickly. When you do find thoughts coming into your mind once you are in bed, acknowledge them, and then put them in a mental "box" to come back to later. If that practice is difficult, you may want to utilize the practice of keeping a physical "idea box" next to yoru bed. When a thought comes to mind, you may jot it down on a paper and slip it into that box. This practice of acknowledging it and putting it aside for later will ease your mind, and allow you rest, knowing that it will not be forgotten and will be waiting for you when you can back to your idea box.

The way I deal with that problem is focusing on sleeping and try to keep a clear mind. Actually think about how nice it's going to be to fall asleep and get the extra rest you need.

Take a minute and write things down. Get everything out that you can. Come up with practical solutions to problem and your mind will clear.
