Burnout’s Quiet Signal: Nighttime Racing Thoughts

Nighttime overthinking can be a subtle sign of burnout, with insomnia and burnout potentially forming a vicious cycle. A psychologist advises a 30-minute wind-down before bed, dim warm lighting, and gentle activities (stretching, music, reading) instead of doomscrolling. If sleep issues persist, consult a medical professional. Burnout is believed to affect up to 65% of UK workers, making nighttime rumination an important warning sign to heed.
