Summary
Your mind was fine all day. Then you lie down, the light goes off, and it starts. If that's your eleven o'clock, this isn't a sleep problem and it isn't a discipline problem. There's a reason it begins at that exact moment and not twenty minutes earlier, and once you understand it, the whole thing stops feeling like something going wrong with you. I explain what your mind is actually doing when it won't settle, why the racing is one question repeated rather than chaos, and three things to do about it. The first one is the real fix and it happens nowhere near bedtime. Ready to break the cycle for good?
