I have it in a horrible manner. But, I went to this wise woman in the outbacks of Louisiana when I was a child and she taught me how to tune out the stuff keeping me awake - how to turn off my head, so to speak. Essentially, I just repeat a few phrases over and over again silently. The phrases are something to the effect of "I love myself - I am a good person - I will help other people . . . . " I have to concentrate on that and eventually, I am thinking about nothing else. It seems to work for me.
