Wandering Mind, Restless Nights?

I have been really stressed/really anticipating current events going on in my life, and my mind has been wondering around at night lately, so I can't get to sleep! How do I calm myself down, or help my mind relax?
Answer:
You need to find a way to stop thinking about things like that at night. I used to have the same problem.

What works for me sometimes is changing my thoughts from something serious to something stupid and meaningless. You could try solving math problems in your head as you fall asleep. Thinking about boring things really does work sometimes.

If you're not opposed to sleeping pills, they really work. You might try a few OTC brands to see if theres one you like. Your doctor can also prescribe some stronger ones if nothing else works.
I know how you feel...you want to control it so bad but it seems like theres nothing you can do...my advise is to tell someone exactly how you feel and im sure they will respect your opinion...good luck
