Mine happens all day lately. Sorry it's affecting you at bedtime. Maybe try some guided meditation or relaxation hypnosis.

That happens to me too. I hate it. I usually have to keep switching positions until I find the one that I don't notice it any longer.

I'm a nighttime worrier as well. My mom calls it "sunset anxiety". As soon as it's time for everyone to start getting ready for bed, my symptoms multiply by 100 and I feel the urgent need to go to the ER. I tried Xanax which didn't work for me. I was sleeping at most 2 hours at a time. Most nights I was getting a combined 3 hours or less of sleep. I think mine is a fear of being alone, or having something happen to me while I am alone and no one to help me. That's why I spend so much of my night time searching the web and chatting on forums such as these. It helps a little. I also recently read on one of these posts about meditation before bed. I downloaded the app "headspace" and it is truly relaxing. I'm also on Klonopin but I do not suggest starting medication if you can help it. The biggest thing to realize is that you are not alone in your feelings. This is a mind game, and we cannot let it beat us. Hope you get some sleep.
