    Avoid searching symptoms at night — it tends to make anxiety worse, not better.

    Keep a notebook by the bed. Writing the worry down tells your brain it's 'saved' for the morning.

    Try 4-7-8 breathing: in for 4, hold for 7, out for 8, a few rounds. It calms the body even when the mind is racing.

    If worry is daily, stops you sleeping most nights, or you feel hopeless, please tell your doctor. You can also call Tele-MANAS at 14416 any time, free.
