If anxiety problem is sever enough to disrupt your sleep I don't think any secondary measures will do ... kindly consult a psychiatrist because these disorders needs a proper evaluation by interview and councillors to get you educated about the illness and it's impact treatment duration ect...

2. Avoid tea, coffee, smoke and alcohol at night
3. Have dinner early. Don't eat late
4. Avoid exercise or TV an hour before u sleep.
5. If u don't fall asleep wen in bed, don't lie awake. Get up do some other activity like reading book, listening music etc.
6. U can have a glass of milk, it contains tryptophan natural sleeping pill.
