Thank you for the advice, Martin! It’s been very helpful for my mindset.

Even just telling myself now that I accept my anxiety has made me feel more relaxed and OK with the idea that I may have it before bed.

I’m realizing that I’ve been trying to fight my anxiety before bed and it’s made it extremely difficult to fall asleep at times. Interestingly enough when I do fall asleep, even when I wake up I have almost no problem falling back asleep. It’s like I’m so relieved that I was able to do in the first place that it’s a non issue.

Martin,

Thanks for your response. I think that’s a good approach to this if it pops up while I’m trying to go to sleep. It’s hard to shake the anticipatory anxiety of going to bed, even if I’m feeling pretty sleepy in the other room. I think this monitoring is part of this.
