Chances are, you have anxiety issues, and they’re preventing you from getting your well-deserved night of rest. Here is why that’s a serious problem. ## **How anxiety ruins sleep** If you find yourself unable to sleep due to feelings of anxiousness, then you’re not alone. Anxiety is one of the leading causes of **[insomnia](https://blog.wellcare-global.com/blog/causes-of-insomnia-and-their-solutions)**, and it affects tens of millions of people around the world. Anxiety creates a vicious cycle of sleeplessness that becomes very difficult to break as the problem worsens. How so, you wonder? When you can’t sleep due to anxiety, you end up worrying about how you’re going to get some sleep the next night, which only adds to your worries. These feelings not only aggravate your insomnia, but take a toll on both your physical and mental well being as well. Fortunately, there are things you can do to fix it. ### **Get rid of your anxiety for a good night’s sleep** If you are experiencing insomnia due to anxiety, there are simple ways to manage the situation such as: - **Set a sleep schedule and stick to it.** Your body has a natural [sleep/wake cycle](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/better/lifestyle/how-to-perfect-your-sleep-cycle-so-you-get-a-good-nights-sleep/), so you will benefit from having a strict schedule when it comes to sleeping. Sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time each day, even during times when you want to sleep longer. You can experiment with different times of sleeping and waking up to find out what suits you. Try a certain time for one or two weeks, then after that, you can adjust it one hour earlier or later, depending on how well-rested you feel. Once you find what works, keep doing it so that your body gets into a rhythm. It will be easier to sleep once it becomes a habit.   - **Create the perfect environment for sleep.** One way you can ease your anxiety and sleep better is by ensuring that your bedroom is highly conducive for rest. To do that, here are some steps you can take. 1. Make your bedroom as relaxing as possible by setting the right temperature. While everyone has their own preferences, the **[ideal temperature for sleeping](https://blog.wellcare-global.com/blog/ideal-room-humidity-and-best-temperatures-for-sleeping)** is around 65°F (18°C) to 68°F(20°C). 2. Use an electric blanket for extra warmth if you find your room still too chilly. The heat from the blanket will also help you relax and sleep easier. 3. Add layers to your bed using several blankets or comforters, then surround your bed with pillows. 4. Dim the lights, close the blinds, and turn off any electronics. You’ll sleep much better if your room is dark and quiet. - **Avoid caffeine.** Caffeine makes your mind more alert, so if you consume it before bedtime, you are more likely to think about things that worry you. Depending on the individual, caffeine takes around four to six hours to digest, so do yourself a favor and lay off the coffee at least six hours before your scheduled bedtime. - **Stay away from alcohol.** You may think alcohol is a drink that reduces stress, but that isn’t the case. Alcohol affects your central nervous system and changes your brain chemistry, which actually exacerbates your feelings of anxiousness once the effects of alcohol wear off. - **Don’t nap too long.** Long naps, especially during the latter part of your day, can disrupt your sleep at night. So, if you can, the best thing to do is to just eliminate naps entirely. However, plenty of people can’t help but nap during the day. If you’re like that, try to keep your napping to a maximum of 30 minutes, and don’t do it so late into the afternoon.   ### **How to create the perfect sleeping environment**   If you are looking for ways to get a better night of sleep, creating a perfect sleeping environment might be a great solution. Colors, noise, bed sheet fabrics are just a few elements that can affect your sleep. Eating any kind of food in bed should definitely be avoided. If your bed is messy and have too many things laying all over your bed, that will probably reduce your sleep quality too.
