How do I stop over thinking at night?

I'd recommend journaling. Sometimes my thoughts just get jumbled up and the only way to sleep is to express them somehow. How do you express yourself? By journaling? Drawing? Singing? Writing? Find some way to get your thoughts out during the day or evening and do something less stressful before bed. If all else fails, it's ok. Sometimes the mind just needs to do what it wants. It'll eventually get easier to chill out at night, trust me.

Meditation has really helped me calm down before bed, and watching beginner guides on YouTube is really helpful in learning the basic fundamentals of meditating. Also turning off anything that has "blue light" ( your cell phone, computer, ipad, ect ). Research has proven that the blue light can cause insomnia, which leads to more serious health risks, once you re-set your internal clock you will be set. Remember to also take out any negative thoughts out before bed, some people pray, others maybe just read to clear their mind, or talk to the partner/family member. Remember talking therapy is one of the best first steps, when I was finally open to my family about my issues it opened up a whole new chapter for me, allowing my brain and heart peace at night. I hope this helps and remember 7-cups has a lot of resources for you to explore! Cheers :)

Overthinking in general isn't a great experience, especially at night when you are trying to sleep. Sleep is really important, and can actually help with overthinking, however that requires actually sleeping. I would encourage to practice healthy sleeping, by going to bed at the same time, or similar timeframe each day. The hour or two before your bedtime should be a calming, "cooling" down period, where you ultimately prepare to go to sleep. Try doing things that will help relax you, making it easier to fall asleep when it IS time to go to bed. And try to avoid caffeine, smoking, screens and other things that may interfere with your sleep. I encourage you to look into other healthy sleeping techniques that can help manage your overthinking at night, and help you sleep. However, if you really feel that overthinking at night, or during the day is affecting you and you are having a hard time managing it, it might be a good idea to look into other resources either online, or in your area that can help. I wish you good luck!

You can try to read a book or listen to music before you go to sleep. It can distract you from thinking about your own issues

Try breathing exercises, stretching, or yoga/Pilates to help put your mind at ease, staying active can help with overthinking.

To stop overthinking, I suggest doing a few things. First, sometimes it is helpful to practice mindfulness before bed to get into an aware mindset which will help you from over thinking. Another thing you might want to try is working to resolve the issue/thing you are over thinking about by doing your best to move forward with the issue as much as possible to get it off your mind.

you can listen music or do something if you cant sleep maybe you cant sleep because of thinking too much at nights.

Making a bedtime routine helps to let your body know its time to wind down ( bath, book, infusing oils, ect) I also find a guided mediation helps because the guide is speaking out the words and while your mind is processing that it has a hard time making thoughts. Best of luck to you and Rest well!

try drinking tea or warm milk before you go to bed, and finishing homework and all electronic things at least half an hour before you go to bed. then, if you find yourself overthinking at night, try to direct your thoughts to something you can't overthink or link to what you've been overthinking. hope this helps!

In order to stop overthinking, you must try to live in the present. Only try to think about the here and now. Live by minutes, then hours, then by the day. Set small goals within these time frames and over time you will see how you have transformed.
