Why can't my mind stop thinking when I'm trying to sleep?

It is hard for me to sleep when I have various thoughts in my mind. I worry about the next day and so forth. I think about the obstacles I will have to overcome. I think about events from the past. I think daily about what I had accomplished each day.

You need to relax. Try to think in positive things and forget the bad things. Close your eyes and take a deep breath, it'll help you

If you don't give your mind time to stop and think during the day, it will try to catch up at night! It's okay to be bored, so every once in a while you should put aside your phone or whatever occupies your time and let yourself reflect. It'll help when it's time to sleep :)

Coz you are thinking about the fact that your mind is thinking about thinking.. Its so recursive you obviously can not sleep, just close your eyes make your mind go blank by saying within your mind "Go Blank".."Go Blank".."Go Blank".. and let your nerves relax.. slowly reduce the intensity with which you say this within your head and you will fall asleep.. This always works for me, it works like hypnotism where you let your brain loose all the control and you give it a sense that it is no longer responsible for making you sleep.. someone else is.. then your nerves relax and you fall in the lap of sleep.

Limit your caffeine especislly if you have anxiety . When you're under large amounts of stress it effects your health and your sleeping

It sounds like you may have a topic on your mind you have yet to wear out. What might you need to restore peace to your mind before you sleep? There may be someone you can speak to that would make you feel better, or you could work out your thoughts in writing. You could also try more exercise during the day to tucker yourself out, and squeezing in any more good experiences you can, so you have more pleasant and relaxing events to reflect on as you rest. Overall, finding someway to vent, spending more time pleasurably or with good laughs, and making sure you're physically tired at night (and avoiding caffeine and other stimulants past the afternoon) are ways to help your mind wind down.

Your mind is overloaded. You need to find some things to abstract of the whole thoughts in your mind.

Watching something to try to sleep, this could be good for you. You've got your mind busy with other things

Your mind can't stop thinking because you have too much stress to deal with or a big change or event

Our brains never get to sleep, they always work 24/7. Some people find it hard to fall asleep at night, and it's simple, maybe there's something bothering you that wil come the next day, Relaxing yourself and distracting you from overthinking always helps.
