Generalized Anxiety Disorder

The best tips for sleeping is no caffeine late at night, if any at all. Generally, you want to wear off your anxiety. If the doctor gives you something extra for anxiety, you can use that too. I would try to use as small of a dose as possible. I have found that exercise, especially me exercising my dogs, helps with anxiety, helping go to sleep there, and avoiding all caffeine at all costs because that makes me just makes me so wired and anxious.

Don't play on your phone right before bed. Don't be on social media right before bed. Use a sound machine. Sound machines for me at least help drown out that extra, those extra voices that are telling you what to worry about, that are making you feel bad. Another thing too is having a little bit of light somewhere. Having a bedtime routine to help train your brain, train your body like, hey it's time to go to bed, we don't have time to stay up and think about all these different things. So that's what I would suggest.

I would say tips for sleeping, especially if you have anxiety, would be get yourself a weighted blanket. I've got one, it works wonders, it feels very heavy, people don't always understand sleeping under it, but what a weighted blanket actually does, it is stimulate your body as a form of a hug, so that's why I mentioned in one of my earlier videos that a hug increases the endorphins, increases the happy hormone and then it also releases anxiety, it makes you feel better. So that is why I would say get yourself a weighted blanket and that would help you sleep right through the night. You might wake up the first few nights with a bit of a sore body because your body has to get adjusted to it, but you know what, after that it's all good and I would say drink a cup of chamomile tea with honey before you go to bed and just listen to soft soft music in the background. Listen to anxiety hypnosis when you go to bed and you'll be fine away and you'll off to dreamland soon.
