I agree your mind doesn&#x27;t stop, but sometimes I solve my problems in that moment before sleep, I think because I can direct all my energy to it (even eyes are closed, so no visual processing needed).<p>Though the tired mind is often very keen to simply recurse over thoughts you&#x27;ve already had opposed to think of new ones. If you find you can&#x27;t stop yourself going over the day though, then 10-15 mins of meditation, where you force yourself to concentrate on clearing your mind, can  stop these thoughts so you can sleep. Do this every night for a few weeks and it becomes second nature.
