Anxiety is common, and small daily habits can reduce it. Practise slow, deep breathing. Limit caffeine and screen time at night. Walk or exercise for 30 minutes. Write down worries and plan one small step. Talk to someone you trust, or a professional. If anxiety stops you from living normally, professional help works well.
Sleep and mental health are closely linked. Poor sleep can worsen anxiety and depression, and mental health problems can disturb sleep. Keep a fixed sleep time, avoid phones before bed, keep the room dark and cool, and avoid heavy meals late at night. Persistent insomnia should be evaluated by a doctor.
