Slumber: Calm Stories for Sleeppartial · 66

It targets racing thoughts by focusing on bedtime meditations/sounds/stories, but it’s more “relax and drift off” than explicitly a racing-thoughts technique.

Won’t cover: It focuses on calm content for sleep rather than a specifically targeted routine for racing thoughts at bedtime.

It’s directly about falling asleep when you’re restless, but the description doesn’t specifically anchor on racing thoughts as clearly as the strongest options.
