How do you calm the math chatter?
I sometimes find it very difficult to quiet the mental math chatter so I can focus on other things, especially sleep. Do r/math members have any techniques to calm your minds so you can drift off once you've reached the point of diminishing returns?
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions all. I've tried some of them in the past, although not all of them. I appreciate hearing that this is a common phenomenon.
