So, I’ve just had a light bulb moment. Whenever I start getting ready for bed and preparing for work the next day, I always get a wave of anxiety. Until now, I couldn’t figure out what caused it. *It’s not getting enough sleep.* The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check my Fitbit to see how long I’ve slept for and my day starts from there. 

I don’t get anxious if I don’t have work the next day so I always put my anxiety down to my job. It takes me so long to go to sleep as I’m always so anxious. I can get into bed at 9pm and still be awake at 1am as I’m overthinking/anxious. 

Does anyone have any tips on how I can begin to reduce my time anxiety? I know going to bed earlier won’t help as I’ll just lay there for hours trying to sleep and it’ll cause more anxiety knowing I’m not sleeping.
