    Hi! I have just started a new job. Loads of fun challenges and no more telecom BS ever. :) :beer: But that aint my question here. I am sure many of you have been hit by this: The amount of information I need to digest is ok, but the whole plethora of problems is fun but overwhelming. When I leave for the day it is hard to switch my brain to not thinking about the problems (technical and organizational). But even worse,I usually wake up hours before dawn and my brain is totally racing at 200 mph. It is quite impossble to break that train of thought. I try to think of other things, music I really like, or places I like, or kid-sister-unsafe things I like but nope. That express train ofproblems (such as this one of mine: clickety) keeps comming back. This morning I finally began doing Rubik's Cube excercises in my head that almost worked but... I wonder what you people do to unload such thoughs from your heads. Cheerz Adam

      I usually just get some music on - loud. Fire up Left4Dead and kill a lot of zombies. You can't think about work when there are 40 zombies trying to eat your brains. If you like to play games, then I think any fast paced game would help. It's what video games where made for!

          Surely you want a slow paced game to wind down and get you ready for sleep.. but that could just be me.

            There are many excellent suggestions in this thread. I don't think I have ever said this before in my life, but I'd steer clear of the alcohol related ones if I were you. (michael_martin, Dalek Dave, Please, please forgive me). Been there, done that. The effects are very enjoyable, and usually result in sleep. However, in my case I almost always have brilliant idea, just as I'm dropping off, which I can never quite remember on waking. I can remember having a brilliant idea, just not what it was! Wait until the brain slows a little as you settle in, then get really rat-arsed. :)

              No! You need something that's intensive and has a brainwashing effect! I believe the combination of loud rock music and zombies hit the right spot. The bad thing is that you get used to it after a while.

                the coffee effect .. drink too much and you become immune. I find my mind races after something like this and can't get to sleep, I need to unwind before bed!

                  Maybe, but then it might not be as much of a distraction. Maybe if you where to play when you got back from work, as a mark of the end of work and the start of something else.

                          Discovery Channel. And put some of the learned stuff into practice if it is not sufficient.
