Tween likes late night chats to download her woes and go to sleep feeling loved and heard. 
I go to bed later than I’d like with a head full of woes and then struggle to get to sleep. 
What do others do to process? Yoga is good for me if downloads are early enough in the day but harder when late. Other ideas?

Thank you. No, she doesn’t want me to solve her woes (mostly) just wants empathy normally. 
Body scan meditation! Yes! I do that sometimes but a good one to remember. I hadn’t thought to read, that might change my ideas a bit too. Thank you.

Does your tween expect you to solve their woes? 

Drink relaxing tea while chatting with them.
 
When I really can’t sleep I either read a bit more, or try meditation (focus on body parts from toes to head. No idea how it’s called)

I’m going to try this. I’m quite an introverted thinker (unlike Chris) but will try and see how it goes. Thank you. X

Not from parenting experience but people experience, journal to get the thoughts & feelings out of your mind & onto paper so you can let it go & sleep. If you need to go back to it, it's there. For the worries stored up, well that's a different story...but if you journal at least you "get it all out" (cf chrisco) and can try to set it aside for 7 hrs.

not sure the last tip got registered so here's another 200 $degen to hopefully make sure you're over the 10k line

1000 $degen is far from sufficient for all the woe holding you do
