Sleep anxiety

Did it help you get relief? Some nights I fall asleep ok but typically still wake up through the night but that doesn’t bother me as much as the 1-2 nights a week I get anxiety around sleep and can’t fall asleep at all. I go for my psychiatrist appointment next week to discuss medications and this is at the top of my list of being comfortable with.

If it did help was it immediate or did it take a few weeks?

Also scared of side effects please help ease those thoughts
