Sleep and the Racing Mind
Planning tomorrow. Replaying conversations. Remembering something you forgot. Imaginary conversations. Creative ideas. Random questions. Worries that suddenly feel enormous at 2am.
A racing mind can take many forms, and this workbook helps you understand yours.
You’ll explore why thoughts can become much louder when the day goes quiet and identify your own busy brain patterns from planning and worrying to problem-solving, replaying events or generating ideas.
Activities give those thoughts somewhere else to go, including structured brain-dumping and sorting exercises that help distinguish between something requiring action and something that can wait.
Rather than trying to force your mind completely blank, you’ll build a personalised racing-mind toolkit using approaches that feel realistic for you.
You’ll then experiment with your chosen strategies across seven nights to discover what genuinely helps and what might actually make your brain busier.
Expect: busy brain pattern spotting, thought-unloading activities, practical tools and a personalised mind-settling experiment.
