- Snackchez 6y agoSleep performance anxiety is a real thing. I’ve had to deal with similar issues. I try not to put too much weight when reading these studies (because they are anxiety inducing) and stick to a healthy bedtime wind-down routine as best as I can.
- hizxy 6y agoYes! I’ve had issues on and off for the last ten years. If I don’t sleep well then it’s quite easy to worry about the next night of sleep.
- mikkom 6y agoTry Meditation. It really helps sleep quality. Another thing is not drinking caffeine AT ALL. My sleep quality got much better after I stopped drinking coffee. Strangely I can drink as much tea as I want but coffee makes me sleep badly.
- Dumblydorr 6y agoSo you're drinking caffeinated or non caffeinated tea?
- mjayhn 6y agoGreen tea (maybe others) has l-theanine which takes away the jittery feeling/anxiety of caffeine. Might be why. I really like caffeine + ltheanine pills.

- davidn20 6y agoTry making it a habit(Cue, Routine, Reward). After 3 decades on earth, I finally feel like I have a decent sleeping habit. Two things that worked for me, having a consistent schedule and creating a cue/trigger associated with sleep. I started wearing ear plugs and facemask to sleep. I started wearing it because my partner usually sleeps much later than me. First couple night took some adjusting, but after a week or two. I realized something. I started falling asleep almost immediately after putting on the ear plugs and facemask. That's when I made the realization I unintentionally created a habit with the ear plugs and facemask as the cue.
- disordinary 6y agoI'm the same, I fall asleep much faster with headphones and a podcast or audiobook playing.
