Having trouble falling asleep?

Maybe cognitive shuffling is the answer.
Cognitive shuffling is the visualization of seemingly random objects and thoughts. The technique was initially developed by Canadian scientist, Dr. Luc P. Beaudoin as a way to tackle insomnia, and it works by deliberately scrambling your thoughts. As you’re falling asleep, you purposefully think of unrelated objects and items. There should be no relation between the objects or rationality explaining their link.
As you continue scrambling your thoughts, your brain will effectively ‘switch off’ from trying to make any sense of the them, distracting it from anxious thoughts and processes, and allowing you to fall asleep peacefully.
