Anxiety and Insomnia

Hi all. I was having trouble getting off to sleep so I saw the GP and I've been taking a low dose (1/2 3.75 tablet a day) which generally helped. I'd wake up a few times but able to get back to sleep which was fine. I've been told I can only take these for a couple of weeks so only took 1/4 tab last night which unsurprisingly had no effect. I was awake all night. I think a lot to do with it was due to the anxiety of going to bed without the comforting 1/2 tablet. Not sure what I can do about it other than staying up really late and hoping I'd be too tired to stay awake. Any thoughts or if you've has similar experience very welcome. Thanks

Sorry forgot to ask. Has anyone tried a safe alternative I could take after this course of zopiclone?
