    End the Insomnia Struggle by Ehrnstrom is pretty good.  It contains all the modern approaches to insomnia, including how to address anxiety. If I could tell you anything about my own struggle with anxiety-related insomnia it would be:

    1. Cool down the anxiety:  meditation and medication are the approaches that worked for me

    2. Go to bed later and get up at the same time every day. Get back on a schedule

    3. Get some exercise every day, 20 minutes or so.  It doesn't have to be too strenuous, just break a sweat.

    Good luck
