Anxiety causes insomnia because of all the thoughts that are flying around your brain. It makes it difficult to sleep when your brain is working at 800 thoughts a second. One of the things you can do is to try meditating. I've found that it definitely helps.

Not being an expert on anxiety myself, I'll have a bit of trouble answering this one. Anxiety (from my view) Is worrying, correct me if I'm wrong. Worrying too much can lead to trouble sleeping.

Anxiety means you constantly feel worried about the things happening around you. Sometimes, when you try to sleep, all those negative feelings come rushing back and your brain ends up over working itself, which means loss of sleep.

In my experience and what i have learned while dealing with anxiety is that our minds don't normally shut down completely like they should, resulting in difficulty sleeping among other things.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
