Your subconscious is telling you something.

IMO anything you do will only be something to suppress it. find out what is causing it, then do the exercise and the rest of the stuff to keep yourself healthy.

Xanax is not even a sleep med

There is much better meds for that

Anxiety medication = garbage; only useful for insomnia.
