I'm having a high stress period at work (an end is in sight post Christmas) which is exacerbating my anxiety at night and even when exhausted, I'm waking up at 4am with 'the fear', i.e. Not sleeping as deeply as I should due to not switching off properly.
Due to aforementioned work pressures, I have 90 minutes between getting home from work and going to bed, to eat and relax.
Mindfulness makes my anxiety worse, I really need to stop the whirring and replaying of the days events, before getting to bed. I will start writing things down, but would like to try anything else that's worked for others, please?
