A few months ago, I didn’t know how to break the cycle of overthinking at night. I would lie in bed, exhausted, in a quiet room, hoping for sleep, but my mind would not stop. My mind jumped from one worry to the next: unfinished to-dos, awkward moments I had forgotten, even imaginary scenarios that would never happen. I adjusted my pillow, pulled the blanket tighter, and tried closing my eyes, but nothing worked. The silence only made my racing thoughts louder. What helped me most was discovering practical midnight anxiety tips for overthinkers. They were small, steady things that guided me from spiraling into calm.

A rampant loneliness epidemic is infecting the youth and it comes in the form of the over-reliance of our devices.

Did you know that "convenience" is the enemy of "community," and it’s the reason why you feel disconnected from yourself and your peers?

People nowadays opt for solitary, convenient activities that limit the amount of “unnecessary” face-to-face interactions they encounter on a daily basis. This includes telling a barista their coffee order, going inside the grocery store to buy groceries, or watching a movie in the theatre. These activities can be replaced with a mobile coffee order on the Starbucks app, scheduling grocery pick up from the Walmart website, or opting for a Netflix movie at home.

Convenience as a replacement for social interaction is the reason behind the decline in community.
