Look up box breathing and alternate nostril breathing. They’ll give you something to focus on, and meditation will help you work with thoughts running through your brain.
If it gets really bad, talk to your doctor and they might be able to prescribe something

I have a friend who says lulls in conversation are a good chance to focus on her breathing. I wonder if it might make the conversation more awkward, but here’s the deal: there are no rules. Box breathing, belly breathing, 4-7-8– it all does the trick to regulate your body. Just take some deep breaths when you remember and take care of yourself today! I’m gonna try to do the same.

If you haven’t meditated before, I suggest downloading the Headspace app. I assume they still have a free intro set that teaches the basics. You can use those techniques like controlling your breath or doing a body scan to try to calm your mind.
Also a psychiatrist told me somestudy showed that putting your phone on airplane mode at night helps. Don’t just put away to charge, put it in airplane mode so you know there’s nothing updating and no notifications you’re missing.
Good luck!

Practice deep breathing and if you want get up and focus on something else to do
