I find that if I start to worry about things like what I am thinking about at night then that worry is what keeps me awake (over analysing my thoughts). But if I just let the thoughts come and go on whatever topic my brain is gnawing on then it is better for sleep.
So I would say: stop worrying about what you are thinking about and just let your brain be rather than anything else.

This does come with a caveat: if your work is constantly keeping you up at night and you are stressed out about it then you need to figure out what is really happening and how to resolve the underlying issue.
