Anxiety attacks before bed

Question

At the end of the day when I lie on my bed I start thinking about all the day's events and my past trauma which makes me very anxious. I replay every bad thing that has happened to me and start getting heart palpitations. I also have very bad dreams. This has made me fear bed time a lot, I can't even relax at night. Is there any solution to this?

When you lie on your bed try to close your eyes and focus all your attention at the center of your forehead. It's a meditation technique that can help you calm down and not think about negative things.

I get very anxious before bed too, albeit I've never had attacks. But I read books before sleeping to distract my mind into other worlds. It makes me drowsy too so it's a win-win situation. You should surely try.

I think you can train your mind to stop thinking all those by imagining some scenarios in which you are happy while lying on the bed. You may create some interesting story involving yourself or someone else.
