Hi Squidge,

Maybe, when we are anxious, we become hyper aware of our body, also the heart starts beating harder.

When you feel that sensation, send some loving kindness to your heart and relax around the area, its not dangerous, and to be honest is a comfort to know it is beating. I know its freaky, but try to look at it in a different way, it helps.

Also check how you go to bed, are you rushing about before hand, drinking caffiene drinks, smoking, stressing. The way to take yourself to bed is gently, calm down very slowly, and lay your head down slowly, being kind to yourself. It might sound fluffy, but it helps too.

wishing you a good nights sleep
