My anxiety is keeping me awake at night. What can I do to stop worrying and help me sleep?

Your brain has been conditioned to associate bed and sleep with anxiety. The best ways to overcome this conditioning are: 1) If in bed and can't stop thinking, after 15-20 minutes, get out of bed, finish the thinking out of bed, then go back to bed. 2) Avoid technology and other blue light sources for 30 minutes before bed. 3) Don't nap during the daytime. Extensive scientific research suggests the above three techniques are highly effective for reconditioning the brain to associate the bed with rapid onset of sleep.

You got through the day, thats an accomplishment so you deserve to sleep. Tomorrow will be a new day

Anxiety is a terrible thing that can easily consume you. Try things such a reminding yourself that you're in a safe place, or breathing techniques. Some people find that meditation works as it clears your mind to help get a good night sleep. Another idea is that there are many apps available. SAM is a useful one. It has many activities on there which lower anxiety levels. Try going on one of those and doing the activities until you feel calm enough to sleep

Don't pay attention to what OTHERS think its about how you feel! No one and I mean No One can control who you are!

Anxiety is usually worry of the future, and the way to stop that is to just remember the lessons from your past and make the best of your present so that you don't need to worry about the future. Hope it helped!

breathe and focus on something else. start watching a tv series or explore new music. breathe and destract your mind and you can drift off to clean and stop worring

First you have to relax and dont go to sleep with a mind set full of anxiety. Let yur mind rest. You can always leave it for the morning. Make sure you listen to some music that helps you relax

Anxious thoughts keep the insomniac awake. Dealing with anxiety usually requires coping skills; breathing, counting (sheep), or listening to music. Contrary to popular belief if you think about what's making you anxious and go into depth looking at the situation and trying to put it into rational terms you can calm yourself, or fall asleep in the process. I suggest looking up "coping skills for anxiety when trying to sleep". and doing your research. That can give you some of those resources you need!

I do a lot of things to help me sleep better at night. Something I've found that really helps is turning off all electronics (computer, phone, TV, etc.) at least 30 minutes before you sleep. There are also many types of herbal teas you can drink that are made to help you sleep. Another thing I do is use a natural lavender scent (I found some natural lavender air freshener at a farmers' market.) and spray some under my pillows. The scent helps me relax!

Anxiety keeping us awake at night is horrible and I have a lot of first hand experience in this myself. Having a good sleep routine before settling down for bed can help-go to a bed at roughly the same time every evening, turn lights/devices off sooner etc. To minimise anxiety at night, what you do and the routine you have beforehand will play a big part.
