When the limbic brain, or monkey mind detects a threat, it sounds an alarm, which we experience as anxiety. When we respond by performing a safety strategy better know as avoidance, this tells our mind we were right to carry out this action, guaranteeing more alarms in the future.

Breathing Exercises for sleep.
Close your eyes and notice your breathing. Turn all your attention to your natural breathing pattern and feel the air enter and leave your nose or mouth. Visualize the flow of air as it passes through your mouth, airways, down into your belly, and back out again. Survey your body for any tension, and as you exhale, feel the tension leave that part of your body. Visualize your breath reaching your forehead, your neck, your shoulders, your arms… and then releasing the tension as you exhale. If your mind wanders to another worry or thought, let it go and gently redirect your attention back to your breath.
