I am a 19 year old male which never had any sleep problem , suddenly I started having sleep anxiety which resulted in less sleep than I used to Do. I usually start having anxiety before bedtime and I think always of how much I slept , how much time I have to sleep and that I am afraid to die , this thing is like a vicious cycle and I don't know how to get over this , it goes my life behind any help would be appreciated

Thanks
