Did your sleep study show other abnormalities such as restless leg syndrome,insomnia,nightmares? Thyroid function tested? I'm not sure you're experiencing sympathetic nervous system overactivity. For your anxiety,perhaps stress management counselling would be helpful. Hopefully habit forming tranquilizers& sleeping meds will be avoided.
