What works for me is I set my TV timer to go off in 15 minutes and turn the channel to PBS news or another news channel but my favorite is PBS because it is kind of boring to begin with. Listening to some boring news story will distract my mind from any problems that I could be stewing on. I have a fan going also so that produces some white noise to drown out the dogs and the chickens. I usually drink a cup of green tea after dinner also and I like a cookie for a treat because I have so few vices.
