My form of meditation is to go for a run, no music, no distractions. It usually takes me half an hour to finally reach a point where my mind goes quiet, I "solved" everything that would otherwise keep repeating in my mind while trying to sleep. I don't have to come up with a solution but at least it feels like I spent enough time on it to let it go.

Especially long runs do wonders, I get into a relaxed trance like state which sticks even after running. Maybe it's the exhaustion or the fact that the energy is spent somewhere other than my brain, but I don't care, it feels nice.
