when I can't sleep (either fall asleep to begin with or waking up in the night and not immediately falling back asleep), I try to tell myself, "hey, at least you're in bed, doing nothing - you'd be happy about that in XX when you have to get up" to calm myself down and get my brain to stop fretting about not sleeping
yea, I will try harder to do those things.

that's smart, I got a weighted blanket to help with my anxiety but I felt it was making me sleep to much and not getting up in time when I slept with it. I should try to just relax more.
