Insomnia: Sleep hygeine is very important for good nights sleep. Several things are to don't lie down until you are ready to sleep which should be consistent every night. When that time arrives turn off all stimulation including tv, radio etc. Make sure your mattress is right for you. Anxiety usually comes at times when your mind is not occupied, at night, and should be evaluated by your primary doctor.
