We often worry too much at night, we keep thinking about the past, all the things that we wanted to do, what we did,, We can't just leave it all behind and relax.. We tend to relive our lives before we sleep, trying to picture what we could have done differently, what we wanted to do but never did. Once I started to accept what happened can't be changed, I didn't have things to worry about at night.

That is more common than you think... For me, it happens every time. It's because people are so caught up with their daily lives and what is happening in those moments. When you lay down, all those thoughts that you were not able to think about come back to you.

There are several reasons why your mind can't stop thinking when you're trying to sleep, one reason is you're probably anxious at something and overthinking it. One advise is to do meditation before going to bed, just breathe out all the things that you're thinking away. That usually works for me. Meditation is good and very helpful :)

Because you're mind isn't set on sleeping when your body is. Try to find a way to make yourself at ease in evenings and you'll have a better time sleeping. (read a book, or listen to some music. But don't stare at screens or play videogames, this will delay the rest your mind needs to fall asleep!)

When you fall asleep, your body and mind try to relax as you soon doze off. But your mind could still be thinking of many things even if you are asleep, such as the problems you're going through, homework/assignments/presentations, or even just how your day went. This could be why your mind cannot stop thinking when your trying to sleep.

Maybe you have too much on your mind right now? Listening to calm music at night may calm your thoughts.

It may be as simple as your mind is too active. Try winding down beforehand by listening to music or just relaxing before sleep, rather than playing video games or watching TV. It also might be due to stress or anxiety.
