I know there's another thread about sleeping anxiety right at the top but the OP posted last in November and I don't want to hijack a thread.

Recently, I've had a few nights where my anxiety has been really bad at night. It's getting to the point that just thinking of trying to sleep makes me anxious, because it feels like it takes forever, and I'm just lying there with my racing thoughts and my anxiety and I start worrying about everything.

About a month ago I was hospitalized (bipolar I disorder) and I lost my job, so all I'm doing right now is working freelance stuff from home - so if I sleep weird hours, nothing is really thrown off, but a proper sleep routine is pretty important for my mental health.

I take a hefty dose of Seroquel and also lorazepam at night before bed, but I've been on Seroquel so long that it doesn't knock me out like it used to. I feel safer sleeping during the day.

I don't even know if there's anything I can do. I've tried exercise, staying away from internet/phone/tv for an hour or so before bed, meditation, listening to music, sleeping with the lights on. Nothing helps.
