If you tend to lie awake worrying or solving problems, you can improve your sleep by
planning to do your thinking at a different time of day. For example, you can regularly spend 10 to 15 minutes each morning thinking through your concerns and problems and making plans to resolve them. This strategy not only helps you to get organized and improves your problem solving, but also enables you to put the problem out of your mind at bedtime. You might even want to keep a pencil and paper or a tape recorder next to your bed. Then, if you should think of a new concern or new option for solving a problem, you can record it, and then fall asleep without worrying that you will forget.
