"As you’re falling asleep, . . . purposefully think of unrelated objects and items. There should be no relation between the objects or rationality explaining their link. As you continue scrambling your thoughts, your brain will effectively ‘switch off’ from trying to make any sense of . . . them, distracting it from anxious thoughts and processes, and allowing you to fall asleep peacefully."--Lauren Jeffries.

Well at least neither of us has any problem with overthinking things.
I think the main thing is to find some way not to stare at the ceiling while contemplating possible incoming meteors or worrying about one of the grandkids taking up skydiving or something. Maybe doing the random thing can help some who need an easy brain-sleep hack.
