Relaxing: You should try relaxing before bedtime, maybe doing some yoga stretches, mediate. Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeinated beverages as well as watching tv or being on the computer. Try to get regular exercise. You may also consider seeking a therapist to help you with behavioral techniques to help anxiety, finally medication is sometimes helpful. You should speak to your doctor about it. Good luck!

Sleep and anxiety: Anxiety can cause insomnia and disrupted sleep. You should see your primary care provider or behavioral health specialist for an evaluation. Other reasons for sleep trouble include lack of exercise, daytime napping, waking at different times, and going to bed at different times. Some people find melatonin helpful for sleep.
