Anything that lightens your mental load is called cognitive offloading. For example, if you are worried about waking up early, set an alarm. There, now you can sleep.
If you have many tasks to perform, make a list. Cross the tasks off one by one.
If you can't remember phone numbers, put them in your phone.
If you can't remember names, then associate the name with something: red hair, height, rhyming name, etc. Put these associations on your phone.
Once you do something like this, your mind is free and can focus on your present situation, whether it's sleep or work.
BTW, I posit that it is this cognitive offloading that St. Anthony uses to help us find things. Once you ask for St. Anthony's intercession for help in finding something lost, you can relax. You've turned the problem over to someone else. You're free of that worry.

That's when you remember where your lost object is. God is clever.
Tony, Tony, please come down.
Something's lost and must be found.
