Hello,
If everything has a connection with anxiety then it will be wise that you start proper anti anxiety meds and treat the root cause.

Taking drugs like paroxetine and venalafaxine will be very helpful. After about a week of starting these meds the need for sleeping pills is not there anymore

So, start the drugs and get well.

Wish you good luck!
