When your voice says:

“I have to solve this before I can sleep.”

“If I stop thinking now, it’ll be worse tomorrow.”

Coach Lynn says:

Nighttime thinking often feels urgent because there are fewer distractions. That does not mean the best thinking has to happen now.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

- Take one or more [Composure Breaths](https://www.dailycomposure.com/what-is-a-composure-breath/) to settle my body.
- Write the problem and the next possible action on paper.
- Set a specific time tomorrow to revisit it.
- Give myself permission to rest before it is solved.

Coach Lynn says:

Your tired mind doesn’t have to solve tomorrow tonight. Rest clears the noise, restores your strength, and helps you wake up ready for the day.
