Underlying Issues: I am not sure what you are thinking you want to take before you go to bed. I would encourage you to figure out the underlying issues about what you are anxious about. Relying on medication for a significant period of time to help you to sleep is a sign of something that need to be addressed. You would likely benefit from talking with a therapist.
