Hi, welcome
The best thing to do with sleeping issues is to see your GP and ask him/her if you can have a sleep study done. Once done then several potential issues can be removed from the list of possibles.
I had two sleep studies done 1/ 2003 and 2/ 2009. First one showed mild sleep apnoea and the 2nd one showed moderate. So it was time for a CPAP which for those not aware is basically an air pump that ensures you dont stop breathing which is why you feel tired even after such a long sleep because the quality of sleep is poor. Good sleep is essential for those with mental heath issues, especially mood swings like bipolar.

You other issue is anxiety. It can be cured in most cases but takes a persistent approach.

Other things are- deep breathing, mindfullness and other methods that can be discussed more with your GP like group therapy.
Make no mistake- anxiety is a serious illness often leading to depression. Prevention is better than cure.
