Racing thoughts at night: small exercises for a full head
Racing thoughts at night make it hard to settle. Small exercises from Café Purla to put a thought down and find some quiet again.
What helps when thoughts keep running
You do not need to solve a thought before it is allowed to get quieter. If you cannot stop overthinking once the lights are off, going over the same thing one more time rarely helps. Often a visible pause works better: one sentence on paper, a glass of water, or a few minutes without new input.
Café Purla pairs small steps like these with a calm place. You can let a thought drift past the window, collect a good moment, or tell Milo how your day went.
The app does not track a perfect run. If you take a break, you can simply come back to it.
Things you can try
- Name one thought in a single sentence
- Pick the next small step
- Park a worry for tomorrow, on purpose
- Hold onto one good moment
