That must be amazing. My brother can do that. I don't know how, I've never been able to. I wish I could!!!!!
All I know I do is turn off my thoughts or if i cant-think comforting thoughts.
That's a big part of my problem, I can't turn my thoughts off, my mind races all the time. I follow a very set routine (I have for decades) for bedtime, I shower and brush my teeth and floss and get myself physically ready, but my mind just won't relax. But my heart also races, so -- it takes forever to get to a sleepy place.
I know it sounds dumb, but lying still and thinking the same word over and over seems to help me if nothing else does the trick. If you notice yourself thinking something different just get back to it.
I've tried that and the "2 minute" trick of blanking out your mind or just repeating a mindless phrase over and over. But it doesn't work for me. Even when I can quiet my mind, I'm still awake for a couple of hours - I just don't get sleepy and I don't feel a desire to sleep, so it's hard to force myself into it.
