I Can't Sleep When I Have Too Much On My Mind

It's pretty often that I have trouble falling asleep. For some reason, I get distracted by the feeling of my heartbeat throughout my body, and it just keeps me up. I don't know why my mind focuses so much on that feeling. I have to go to bed 10 hours before the time I need to be up since it can take an hour or two just for me to fall asleep.

Slow sleep insomnia, try wearing your brain out with complex thought.

Okay. Any suggestions for what sorts of complex thoughts I should delve into?

Some say flashing as many images in your mind as possible almost like looking at a picture flip book filled with random images. Others would say difficult math problems.

I'll try that tonight and see if it helps me

It'll still take a while but it's better than nothing.
