Long term rumination: may lead to problems with insomnia. Laying awake for long periods conditions the body and mind to be alert and awake in bed instead of entering sleep. Recommend use of good sleep hygiene (see link in comments section). If worry and rumination are problems consider a consult with a psychologist to learn skills to reduce this issue. If needed, training in good sleep hygiene is also available.
