Possible ideas for that situation can include, journaling writing out your thoughts can help you see what's going and can sometimes help you sort your thoughts.

Listening to music before I go to bed has become a routine. Try to find music that is calming to you, lay it next to you, and focus your mind on only that. Music is a great way to ease anxiety if you can find some songs that you have a connection to.

Try writing down everything that's worrying you, as getting your thoughts down on paper can relieve some of your anxiety. Then try doing something that's enjoyable and relaxing, such as meditating, listening to soothing music, reading or going for a hot bath. By doing this every night before you go to bed, you can form a routine, and it will become more natural to fall asleep easily without being troubled by anxiety.

Surround yourself with things that comfort you. Perhaps an unlit candle in your favorite scent? Or a stuffed animal or sweater from someone close to you? Find things that make you feel safe and keep them close by so you can focus on them when the anxiety arises.

Personally what I would try do is write all of my thoughts down. I know it sounds cheesy but for me it actually works! It may not work for everyone but give it a try! If that doesn’t work and you have tried everything else, then talk to a doctor/ therapist.
