What ‘worked’ for me was making sure I had a great night’s sleep the night before the early start night and then just accepting a poor night’s sleep the following night. I always find that one night of poorer sleep doesn’t adversely affect me much, so just stopped stressing or worrying about it..

The side benefit may then be that once you accept it you may then even sleep a bit better!?

Not a bad idea considering it's all clearly psychological!

I will say though I get really mad on no sleep. Like you know how some people get hangry? I get...tangry.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy removed my need for prescription sleeping pills. It breaks exactly the night time panic spiral you're describing.
