A lot of us know this feeling

Can't switch off

When your mind keeps running after hours.

You're not alone

The day ends and your mind doesn't. It keeps working the problems and rehearsing tomorrow. That's common, and you can train it. You won't out-argue your thoughts. What works is a routine that tells your body the day is over, the same few steps every night.

What can help

• Build a wind-down routine. The same few calm steps each night teach your brain it's safe to power down.
• Write tomorrow down. List what's unfinished and what's coming, so your mind can stop going over it.
• Cut the evening feed. Less going in, quieter mind.
• Use your body to settle your head. Slow breathing, a warm shower, a short walk.
• Keep work out of the bedroom if you can, so your body learns that room is for sleep.
