# The Racing Mind

Falling asleep is the hard part: a racing mind, worry, and replaying the day keep you up. This is the most common shape, and it's usually anxiety wearing pyjamas. Calming the mind, not just the body, is the key, and it's very workable.

What this usually looks like

* Long time to fall asleep
* Mind racing at lights-out
* Lying awake worrying
