Health Tip: Sleeping While There’s Anxiety

Anxiety can cause or worsen sleeping problems, says the National Sleep Foundation.

If disrupted sleep due to anxiety happens, the foundation says you may want to try a few simple strategies:

Practice meditation. Focus on your breathing.
Add exercise to your day. Regular exercisers tend to have better sleep.
Practice a healthy bedtime routine.
Write to-dos down so your brain can relax.
Steer clear of stressful activities before bed.
If you can’t fall asleep for more than 20 minutes, get out of bed and do something relaxing.
