Me too. Since one month before corona started, I started to wake up every night at 02:00am . Also, anxious about work. And, too, coffeeined very well. May be to well. From one day to the other day.. suddenly just started to wake up at exactly 2am. Then couldn't sleep for an hour, two or so. Then a few months after I started to have itching everywhere. Especially the parts of skin that have been rubbed, scratched... Hands after opening a bottle, f.e. also skin changed to bright red tone and scratch-shaped spots where it has been itching and scratched. I tried an antihistamine medicine Cetirizine, because it's one of the things that reduces pruritus symptoms, which are attributed to high histamine levels and Cetirizine is an antihistaminic. The pruritus got better. But still need my Cetirizine every 4-5 days a half. Sleep also got better. I still wake up at 2am, but, I'm not anxious anymore. I was laid off last September haha.
Since then I sleep better even when I wake up.. may be got used to it already.
So, it can be a lot of all the things together. May be it's stress because of work and life. May be the coffee, which is also reduced a lot, to one or two cups milk latte. Not any later as after 0 pm. Take care what you eat. Like, if I drink a glas of red wine, I scratch my skin off without medicine AND can't sleep although being really tired and .. if, finally.. 2am... Wake again. But not anymore as tired, as in the beginning ;)
