In the video the expert suggests a number of things that may help, including CBT and either an environmental sound generator, making the sound of the rain

Hi LittleMissBennet, Clinical Nurse Therapist Ann McCreath has now got back to us. She says:
Perhaps try listening to relaxation tracks when in bed. This may help both audio and thinking wise. At llttf.com there is a free relaxation file called Anxiety control training (ACT). It lasts no more than 5mins, and many people have found it useful for a manner of things. Why not give it a go? Best f Luck!
