One way to distract your mind from the T is to think about something else.
Think about a beautiful place you have visited or a pleasant trip you have taken. Think about as many details as you can. Relive the experience in your mind. By taking this approach you accomplish several things. You take your mind off of the T, you calm your mind by reliving a pleasant experience, and you make the process of trying to fall asleep a pleasant one.
The reason this approach works is based on the fact that your mind is "single-threaded", meaning that it can only process one thought at a time. If your mind is occupied thinking about a pleasant experience, it is not thinking about your T.
Note: avoid thinking about overly-stimulating experiences (e.g. sexually arousing thoughts); they may be pleasurable, but they won't help you to fall asleep!
- Establish a pre-bedtime routine.
Whatever you like to do before getting into bed, it's a good idea to have a pre-bedtime routine. For example, you may like to eat a snack, read for 20 minutes, brush your teeth, do relaxation exercise, and say your prayers. Whatever your routine, the very act of following it prepares your mind and your body for sleep.
