When I have a situation happening at school (e.g. student said something super rude or bad experience with parents), I found myself continuously thinking about this to the point I woke up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep and kept playing it in my head.

I tried distracting myself with other obsession e.g. start reading new mystery book, doom scrolling, rage baiting myself reading American politics, but it doesn't get out of my head. These are not even big incident, I just find myself failing to disassociate from work. I no longer have work emails on my phone for a while now. It's burning me out. Why do I care so much about work? How would/do you manage this?

I teach science and maths and use digital resources regularly. What I found is students find it really difficult to write their thoughts ( e.g. clear working out in maths and summarising ideas in science). More experienced teachers, do you find these worse today?
