00:00Mental health experts reveal why anxiety may be worse just before you sleep.

00:05For many, pre-sleep anxiety increases due to nighttime conditions.

00:08Experts attribute heightened unease during quiet moments as a key factor affecting millions worldwide.

00:16During the day, tasks and social activities help manage anxiety.

00:21Professor Ivo Vlaev notes that at night, the lack of distractions allows the mind to focus on worries,

00:26leading to rumination and overthinking, which worsens anxiety before sleep.

00:34Nighttime fatigue weakens emotional regulation, making stress management difficult and increasing anxiety.

00:41Vlaev states, fatigue impairs emotional regulation, weakening coping mechanisms by day's end.

00:50Hormones play a key role in pre-sleep anxiety.

00:52Cortisol peaks in the morning, causing anxiety, while elevated nighttime levels hinder relaxation.

00:59Carissa Chamorro notes that anxiety increases adrenaline and cortisol, disrupting sleep,

01:04and irregular hormonal cycles in chronic stress worsen nighttime anxiety.

01:11Anxiety may worsen at night due to the environment.

01:14Darkness, quietness, and isolation can trigger unease.

01:17Vlaev explains that the loss of control and uncertainty about sleep amplify anxiety,

01:23worsened by the physical darkness and quiet.

01:29Chamorro explains anxiety and sleep deprivation create a cycle where worry causes sleepless nights.

01:35Daytime habits like caffeine and screen time worsen anxiety, while mindful choices promote better rest.

01:41Nighttime anxiety can be managed by understanding its causes, such as lack of distractions, fatigue, and environmental triggers.

01:52Reducing caffeine and using relaxation techniques can help.

01:56As Professor Vlaev says, anxiety thrives in the absence of distractions.

02:00A calming routine can improve sleep.
