I went through something similar with severe anxiety. It made sleeping terrifying, but sleeping on my side helped a lot. Also, medication gave me back control of my life when nothing else worked. Eventually, I didn’t need it anymore. Hope this helps.
Have you tried beta-caryophyllene? It’s great for anxiety and sleep. I use CB2 Wellness oil—it works wonders when inhaled or taken sublingually before bed.
Here are some tips for breaking the sleep-anxiety cycle:
- Stick to a consistent sleep schedule.
- Develop a calming bedtime routine with no screens an hour before bed.
- Make your bedroom sleep-friendly—cool, dark, and quiet.
- Avoid stimulants like caffeine before bed.
- If you can’t sleep, get up and do something quiet until you feel tired again.
Small changes over time can make a big difference. Best of luck!
Try reducing phone usage two hours before bedtime. It helped me sleep better.
