Anxiety and insomnia: Insomnia in anxiety is typically the sort where we have difficulty falling asleep (not so much waking too early). It does sound like you describe significant anxiety symptoms. Maybe it's time to schedule an appointment to get proper treatment for your anxiety and related insomnia. See a psychiatrist who can review your sxs and discuss talk and medication therapy and select a plan right 4 u :)
