Perhaps try getting up and meditating for a while, it may help with the anxiety. Better than going on medication I'd say. Lying awake in bed just associates bed with not sleeping.

Or go to bed later, with a cup of chamomile tea.

I find once I wake once or twice at a certain time, I keep waking up at that time.
