Meditation for racing thoughts at night

Racing thoughts at night have a particular cruelty. Your body is worn out, but the moment the lights go off your mind starts replaying the day and rehearsing tomorrow, and the stillness that should invite sleep instead strips away every distraction that kept the noise manageable in daylight. The 3am version is worse: you wake to a quiet house and the mind treats it as an invitation to solve everything at once. These articles look at why the brain speeds up at bedtime and again in the small hours, and at the practices that settle it without turning 'trying to sleep' into one more thing to get right.
