My sleep anxiety has to do with sleep paralysis and nightmares. I found that locking my door and taking Benadryl (or a medication to make me fall asleep quickly) helps a lot. That way I feel safe and can't fight the sleep anyway. I also watch videos to relax me. I watch YouTube videos of people getting cysts removed (gross, I know) and videos of girls dyeing their hair to relax.
