I haven't found that my brain really ever shuts off. Soemtimes reading will distract it.
Somtimes, if I keep dwelling on a problem? I sit down with a piece of paper and write pro/con lists or lists of solutions or things like that. Or write down what I'm afraid/worried about and list off all the possible bad outcomes and then sit and make myself think of the good outcomes.
