One of the most annoying things about stress is that when I am going to be very busy, I then have a terrible nights sleep because my brain refuses to shut up about all that might be happening.
Ugh. Not helpful, brain, not helpful.
So a nice cup of an easy, uncomplicated tea is just what the doctor ordered. Help me, Paris! You are my only hope.

Love the Star Wars reference :)!
If you know where to buy a pillow that does not trigger every unresolved issue from the past week, decade, or millennium as soon as your head hits it, please let me know. I want to buy a dozen.
I need that pillow as well!
I’ve been going to sleep listening to audiobooks with narrator’s voices that I like. It helps my brain calm down and focus on one thing instead of Ping-Ponging around a zillion.
Ah the brain is never thinking the good thoughts. But controlling the thoughts is a skill that can be learned, but like most things it takes effort and practice. Try NSDR non-sleep deep rest on YouTube or concentrate on breathing and throwing away all your thoughts (I like thinking of them rushing away down a flowing stream or on a boat getting further and further away on a lake). The other trick I use is a piece of sports tape vertically across my mouth. Prevents mouth breathing and you will be concentrating on breathing through your nose instead of the thoughts swirling in your head.
