it just shuts up you internal monologue for long enough to get to sleep

Though it takes longer to achieve, it's effects go beyond just helping you sleep - regular meditation, even purely secular "mindfulness meditation" can help achieve the same, with lasting effect, and much wider implications in day to day life.

There is sometimes still an internal monologue, but it's not as powerful or overwhelming, and it's much easier to ignore or shut off.
