Unable to Sleep again

It happened again last night.  I had trouble going to sleep.  This is so not like me.  I stopped drinking coffee earlier than normal and we even ate dinner earlier than usual.  I feel tired, get ready for bed, and as soon as I lay down my body is awake.  My mind feels sleepy, so I keep laying there and trying to make it work...LOL...which probably only makes things worse.  I got up at 11:30, got some water and went back to bed.  The last time I looked at the clock it was after 12.  4:30 came mighty early.  Maybe I am worrying about not waking up and getting to work early.  Since I have two day classes this semester, I am coming in to work early and staying late to get my hours in.  Trying to keep track of it for now.  Hopefully, I will figure this out.

Have you tried taking melatonin 30 minutes before you lay down?

I haven't tried anything yet LOL. This is new for me. I don't usually have any trouble falling asleep.

Why my anxiety is at its highest I can't fall asleep. Melatonin helps me a lot.
