For right now, tonight, when your brain will not stop.
Short tools sorted by what's happening - racing thoughts, restless body, worry.
Try one thing. Rest counts, even without sleep.
Bandwidth needed: Very low. Written to be read on a phone, in the dark, at 2am.
Time required: Under a minute to find your section. One thing to try.
What this will do: Ask what is actually happening right now — looping thoughts, an activated body, or one specific worry — and give you things to try for that.
What this will not do: Teach sleep hygiene, fix your sleep schedule, or promise you will fall asleep.
Where you can stop: After one thing. If it has not helped in five minutes, stopping the effort is itself one of the strategies.
