Some thoughts...: Consider deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation prior to bed. If this is not sufficient, consider seeing a therapist for cognitive behavioral therapy. Use good sleep hygiene. Retire & rise same time each day. Keep bedroom dark & cool & use only for sex & sleep. Turn off tv. No naps. Exercise regularly but not in late evening. No caffeine for 6 hrs & no alcohol or tobacco w/i 2 >.

Sleep psychologist: I would recommend that you find a board- certified sleep psychologist who specializes in these issues. You can contact your local hospital or independent sleep labs for proper referrals. You may be referred for a psychiatric eval if you are diagnosed with generalized anxiety. Sweet dreams!
