bedside notepad for anything you might want to write down - if something is keeping you up; you can use this to record things and effectively put them out of your mind so that you can go to sleep.

is this a distraction?

For some people, some of the time, yes. If you sometimes find your mind ablaze with an incredible thought, writing it down can relieve this.

This may appear unclear in the table; there are two main sources of commentary on the usefulness of these ideas for improving sleep quality. I am confident that it can help people who are in the state of, "thinking too hard to relax and get to sleep". of course it can go wrong, but I would expect it to be usually good. Also handy for planning out the next day, or writing down dreams, or flash-of-brilliance-thoughts.
