Does anyone else feel like their late-night anxiety is just a feedback loop from hell?

I have been tracking my heart rate variability for months, and it is honestly exhausting to watch the data confirm exactly what I feel at 3:00 AM. Every time I wake up with that tight chest sensation, my brain immediately starts cataloging every awkward conversation I have had since 2012. It is this bizarre, recursive loop where the lack of sleep triggers the anxiety, and the anxiety ensures I definitely do not get any more sleep. I have tried every meditation app, weighted blanket, and herbal tea on the market, but sometimes it feels like my nervous system is just stuck on high alert regardless of what I do. Do you all find that your sleep quality improves once you address the underlying stress, or is it more of a mechanical issue of physical over-arousal that needs to be hacked away first? I am genuinely curious if anyone has found a way to break this cycle without just relying on sheer willpower or medication.
