I have had trouble sleeping for about three years. I also can not turn my mind off. I went to my doctor about this because I was afraid it could be bad for my health. The lack of sleep along with the mental stress this was causing. Of course, he did not seem worried. I have had to try my own ways of turning my mind off. I don't know if this will help you, but it seems to clear my mind enough so that I can relax enough to sleep. I picture a white sheet in my mind. Just look at the sheet and without trying the thoughts that you are having and some that you are not will appear on that sheet. Don't think about them just allow them to leave your mind and go to the sheet. This may
not work for you, but if you are like me you are willing to try anything. If it helps any you are not alone.
