Really when you think about it, being anxious for days on end is preferable to a 5 minute task.

The key is timing. If you time your anxiety for when you're supposed to be asleep, you get to be too anxious to sleep and be unable to do the thing that alleviates said-anxiety! (Like completing a work task, or running a noisy appliance like a vacuum cleaner or washing machine, or making a phone call that can only be made between certain hours, etc.)

Then when morning arrives, and you're finally in a position to do the thing that was bothering you all night, you'll either be too exhausted to start the task, or be so mentally-overwhelmed that you completely forget the thing even exists.

Until the next night, that is. Then the cycle repeats.
