Anxiety --> Insomnia
I have a lot to think about it my life and my head is getting in the way of sleeping through the night. I've been doing yoga for about 2 weeks every night and it helps calm down my thoughts, but it all comes rushing back within half an hour.
I wake up with a sort of anxiety-jumpstart-panic at night (I don't remember dreaming) and sometimes I can't go back to sleep. What kind of person can I ever hope to become if I can't get my head under control?
I'm trying not to beat myself up but it's difficult and I'm tired.
Tips to help get to sleep?

My anxiety interrupts my sleep. It's very frustrating. I've been doing a couple of things. First, I accept that I'm okay if I wake up at night. I'm not going to be frustrated. I'm not going to get upset. That just makes it worse. Second, I wear headphones throughout the night. I listen to soft music or white noise or stories. If I wake up and can't get myself back to sleep, I put on some audio. Third, I use meditation/breathing techniques and focus on that to realx and sleep.
