Anxiety: Cognitive behavior therapy with sleep hygeine would work. Schedule appointment with mental health counselor to help u work on stress management and coping strategies.

Sleep hygiene: Agree w dr. Ali. Here are some specifics on sleep hygiene. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what time you fell asleep. 2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine. Relaxing rituals prior to bedtime may include a warm bath or shower, aroma therapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 3. Sleep in a dark, quiet, cool.
