#stress Are you already anxious about tomorrow morning? Is it worse leading into Monday morning or is it most mornings? You are not alone. people with generalized anxiety often have an increase in anxiety within the first hour of getting up. Why? There are a few possible reasons. If you go to bed worrying or wake up during the night with anxious thoughts, you may also feel anxious and concerned about your day in the morning. The stress hormone cortisol generally increases in the body in that first hour. Also, poor sleep habits could be contributing. Maybe try some mindfulness before bed tonight – maybe gratitude for 2-3 things about today. Try to quiet any negative thoughts before bed. That will give you the best chance to decrease or eliminate morning anxiety.
