Story at-a-glance
  • Cognitive shuffling helps transition your mind to sleep by mimicking your brain's natural shift from focused thinking to random, dreamlike patterns
  • Instead of trying to clear your mind, choose a simple word and think of other words starting with each letter to gently redirect overthinking
  • The technique works by providing just enough mental distraction without stimulation, making it ideal for people with racing bedtime thoughts
