The moment the lights go off, the mind seems to wake up, replaying the day and rehearsing tomorrow just when rest matters most. This explains why thoughts accelerate at that exact threshold, what the body is actually doing as it downshifts, and the handful of ways to meet a racing mind without wrestling it into silence. Grounded, patient, and built for the specific hour when quiet finally arrives.
