why is it, I'm fine during the day but when I go to go to sleep all these thoughts come racing into my head about what he's doing now, who will he meet after me, things that happened during the relationship, the lack of sleep is making it hard to function during the day, any tips?

Sleep was impossible for me for months. What helped was embracing a calming ritual stretching drinking tea,deep breathing. Nighttime became less about them and more about me.
start a new nighttime habit writing down three things you love about myself. It reminded u that your worth was not tied to who stayed or left. That shift in mindset changed everything.
One thing that helped me sleep was putting my phone on do not disturb avoiding social media and stopping myself from checking anything that might trigger more overthinking.
I kept replaying the what ifs wondering who they were talking to what they were doing. But eventually I asked myself Would knowing bring me peace? The answer was no so I stopped searching.
the pain of picturing them moving on it feels unbearable. But reminde yourself daily Their life isn’t your life anymore. Slowly that truth sank in and you started finding your own joy.
At night the distractions disappear and the loneliness feels louder. But I started using white noise or calming music to quiet my thoughts. It’s a small change but it helped me find peace.
I know that flood of thoughts all too well. One thing that worked for me was replacing those painful thoughts with gratitude thinking about what I gained not just what I lost.
I went through the same thing fine during the day but night felt unbearable. What helped me was creating a solid nighttime routine journaling reading meditating. Slowly my mind stopped racing and sleep came easier.
