How to stop overthinking at night and fall asleep in 2 minutes:
The Military Method.
The United States Navy Pre-Flight school created a routine to help pilots fall asleep in 2 minutes. It took pilots about 6 weeks of practice
BUT IT WORKED! Even after drinking coffee and with gunfire noises in the background

2. Drop your shoulders.
Let go of any tension. Relax your neck and feel yourself sinking into your bed
Start of the top of your right arm - relax your bicep, forearm and hand
Repeat on the other side

5. Clear your mind.
Think of nothing. If you struggle with this hold a relaxing image in your mind.
Picture yourself lying comfortably in your cosy bed
But if that doesnโt workโฆ

Keep in mind practice is key.
The military method might not help you go to sleep faster the first few times, but the more consistently you use it, the better youโll train yourself to relax and let go.
Good luck!
