Sleepless/fears: This could be the beginning of panic/worries often appear at night. If you notice fast breathing during these episodes, slow your breathing down (can blow 20 x in a paper bag). If it occurs not just at bedtime but other times, see mental health MD to see if medical treatment might help anxiety. Read, listen to calm music as routine before going to bed.
