Insomnia: Sleep hygiene dictates bed only for sleep or sex, no work. Need a dark, quiet, environment with a comfortable temp to sleep. No use of electronics within 30 minutes-1hr of bedtime because the blue light from computers and cell phones and television will cause alertness with melatonin suppression. Best not to exercise right before bed. No stimulants after 4pm. No heavy late meal. To do list helps.

Hi there, since childhood I have had worry/anxiety around bedtime. When my parents were away, I would be awake or wake up during the night until I knew they were back home. Now my partner and I work different schedules with him not coming home until late at night. Im having the same issues with falling and staying asleep until he gets home safely. Are there any recommendations on insomnia directly related to worrying? Any assistance would be helpful. Bedtime Anxiety Affecting Sleep Quality?
