I would think that the vast majority of anxiety suffers, would love to be able to treat night time anxiety. I don’t know what it is, but having night time anxiety feels tons worse than having anxiety during the day.
I used to suffer with night time anxiety really bad, it got to the stage where I started to dread the night time. And of course the more thought that I gave to it the stronger my night time anxiety got. It started to be a viscous circle.
How to treat night time anxiety, well for me this is what i put into place.
The first thing I did was to have a dvd player in the bedroom, and played my favourite films to distracted me from my anxiety. Because I really needed a good nights sleep.
Actually what I needed was a break from my anxiety and concentrating on a film that I liked distracted my mind, which gave me small breaks from my anxiety. But it was more than that, if a distraction could stop my anxiety it just proved to me that my thoughts where creating my anxiety.
This really started to help me treat my night time anxiety. A small break from my anxiety was really appreciated, I can tell you.
I also bought some relaxation cd’s to listen too as I was trying to go to sleep. Being relaxed really does help anxiety. When we are in a anxious state are bodies are so tensed and primed for the fight or flight syndrome, we really need to get our bodies to relax and feel calm and peaceful. I cannot stress this enough, get your body to relax.
I also tried exercises at night before I went to bed to get rid of all my excess energy. This may sound strange but I was up for trying anything to treat night time anxiety. My night time regime was exercise, soak in the bath, then either a dvd or a relaxation tape to help me get off to sleep.
You could also try taking some natural herbs at night to help you relax and get off to sleep. Make sure you consult a professional who can guide you on what to take and how much to take.
If you do not mind taking medication to treat night time anxiety, then there are sleeping tablets or sedatives that you can take that will help you ease your night time anxiety. Again ask your doctor about what medications are available and safe to take.
But remember taking medication for anxiety does not treat your anxiety, but it does give you a break from it. The best way to treat anxiety is to find a counsellor or personal coach who can help you work through the issues that are causing your anxiety. This is the only way to treat night time anxiety and beat it.
Hopefully, this article will help you deal with Anxiety at Night.

Good video, thanks
Leah says (and for once I don't disagree with her — just joking Leah!), “The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done.”
Of course it can be done, but will it? I don't think so, not while there are so many millions of dollars in play in creating anxiety about every facet of prostate cancer, from PSA testing/screening to the inappropriate tests and scans ordered, to the lack of clear indications of outcomes, to unneccesary adjuvant treatments (or should I say adjuvant treatments that have no demonstrable value … the list goes on. This anxiety drives men like beaters at a pheasant shoot, right into early treatment.
In the midst of all this gloomy outlook there is the faintest glimmer of light. I have personally experienced the change in attitude to what was called, so inappropriately, watchful waiting and which is now commonly referred to as active surveillance.
Thirteen years ago it was clear that the general view was that only fools and lunatics would consider such a step. The lunacy element has been removed now and men who follow this path, and the doctors who support that decisio,n are merely regarded as foolish. Perhaps as more time goes by and more studies are published, even that appellation might be removed.

Any moron that can read a book is apparently a licensed psychotherapist. I say, if you don't have anxiety/depression, then don't tell other people how to treat it. Sertralin does NOT work, in fact it made me skizophrenic, that's how bad sertralin is. I want Valium based drugs, but that has of course been made illegal. So scr– you.
<a class="watch-comment-atlink" umm… she definitely isn't selling anything, She is explaining how anxiety works, and she definitely said you don't have to use meds….
What a salesman you are.. . To lead people with faulty logic to believe that some mind numbing meds is what is needed to bring balance into oneself.
“33 percent of patients initiated ADT at the first or second clinic visit.”
Patient initiated ADT? Ya gotta wonder who's been castrated here (sorry if this is in bad taste). Doctors should not perform treatments just because patients insist on it. I wonder if the scourge that is direct-to-consumer advertising has played a role in this. Patients see a drug on TV and demand that the doctor given it to them.
This is a very important article because the findings can be useful in other PC settings. We know that patients have HT, which is of questionable benefit and very unpleasant, because they're anxious. Also, patients with low-grade PC forgo active surveillance or convert to treatment because they're anxious.
The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done. I also think that if more men did not rush into treatment (which is common in other countries), some of the anxiety related to PC would abate. In the US our inclination is to always do something. So it's understandable that no guy wants to be the odd man out who holds off. I think we need a cultural shift. Abolishing payments to docs based on the number of procedures they do would also help.
PS: I'm not sure what the implications of this study are for younger patients.
A particular type of anxiety disorder, called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is often overlooked when categorizing anxiety disorders, perhaps because the label for such a disorder was only created in the 1970s, as the psychological effects of the Vietnam War upon soldiers became increasingly evident. PTSD can develop after a person endures life-threatening events (commonly war or natural disasters), and is affected by symptoms such as nightmares, flashbacks, mood swings, insomnia, and general anxiety. These patients are often also affected by depression, which can make the patient somewhat numb to emotions at times. Anti-anxiety and/or anti-depressant medications can be used to treat the anxiety disorder, as well as clinical therapy such as group-counseling (Fitzgerald, 2008,
I also think this disorder is unique in its nature among other anxiety disorders mentioned on this post and the comments proceeding it because it is develops after particular event (or series of related events), which is not necessarily the case for other forms of anxiety. Perhaps the case-specific cause of the disorder makes it easier to diagnose?
I think that such a disorder is especially relevant considering the war in which we are currently involved. The disorder is surprisingly prevalent in war veterans, and with treatment, symptoms can certainly be treated effectively. My mother is a psychiatrist who works with veterans suffering from this condition, which is how I first learned about it. With her work involving PTSD patients, she is employed by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (the VA), which I think is appropriate, considering the disorder for these particular patients is acquired through national service.
