It's 2 AM and you're staring at the ceiling, replaying that one weird thing you said at lunch. Why won't your brain let it go?

You'll learn the spotlight effect, the open loop in your mind, and two simple tricks to close the loop and finally fall asleep. If you've ever laid awake cringing at yourself, this one is for you.
