You know what they say, it's hardest to start something but easy after you've tried it... I've tried meditation to clear my mind, and it works quite well. Just... think about... emptiness... black... close your eyes... breathe slowly... Also, keep reminding yourself to think of nothing... it'll preoccupy your thoughts until "thinking of nothing" is the only thing you can think of. After you wake up, your mind is cleared.

Has this helped with my ADD/ADHD? Not... really. Not because it doesn't work (it is actually effective as advertised... or something), but because I can't get myself to meditate all the time. Sometimes it's just difficult to decide whether or not you want to meditate, or if it's worth the time, etc. etc...

If you can get yourself to do it though, tell me if it worked the charm just like it did for me
