At night having anxiety keeping me from sleeping so I take Xanax but it does not keep me a sleep. Two hours later I am awake n do not go back to sleep. Doctor put me on Zoloft, 16 days on it. Anxiety is mostly gone during day but it raise its ugly head at bedtime.
Sorry to hear about your sleep-related anxiety, ghost1951. This is very common among those of us with insomnia. It’s to be expected, too — after repeated nights of poor sleep, worry, frustration, and anxiety, we come to associate the entire process of going to bed with unpleasantness, and even the very thought of going to bed can lead to anxiety.
Have you looked into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) as a way to improve your sleep for the long term?
CBT-I techniques can be very helpful since they address the perpetuating factors behind insomnia that feed into our sleep-related worry and anxiety.
