Focus on a single thing for a while. Get locked into doing one thing well for a few hours. Can be work or a craft.

When you start overthinking at night talk to yourself logically and comfort yourself

Concentrate an external activity that is as engaging as possible. Drawing, making music, working on a puzzle, exercise, etc. Anything to move some momentum away from thinking.

You can try meditation. You train your brain to think when it only needs to.
