Sleep is imperative,and we are aware of it;but when we think, there it is... it leaves us right where it is.
I think, thinking is not of it(though dreaming is part of it);so, try listening to other thingsand think nothing of the narrative ...
Soon slumber comes, settling.Or, begin a poem like this one is,at four a.m.—too hard to think.Now, here's a remedy! ... riddling.
Or, this is comparative:Sense fingers, toes and eyelashes—one at a time ... and think of it.... When you can't, you'll sleep instead.
But, best of all is when He singswithin your heart a precious hymnor gives a verse on which to thinkand folds His peace beneath your chin.
