Those times when you just can not turn off your brain.
What do you do?

First thing for Brain doesn't turn off is no Melatonin, you aren't helping anyone but the doctor. Brain activity is best off to be 'distracted' , I've been that way forever, actually I get my best ideas at night lol. I use a tablet, I have my streaming on there, I just put it on barely any volume so there is some noise but not enough to distract, also find something you aren't going to get tied up wanting to watch... I find Guy Fieri droning on DDD to be just enough distraction with zero interest in watching. remember it's just other noise, I tried XM and stuff but I have a music background so it would stop me from drifting off.
Never turn to meds for this, it's far easier to use distraction...and learn yoga breathing to relax down to sleep.
